Thank you for choosing to support Our Bolton NHS Charity.

By supporting your local hospital charity, you are a part of a team helping to make a real difference to the thousands of patients we care for every year.

Thanks to our supporters, donors and fundraisers, Our Bolton NHS Charity has been able to fund a range of schemes, including (but not limited to):

• Refurbishment of the parent accommodation facilities so parents who have a critically unwell baby on the Neonatal Unit can stay close by in a calm and supportive environment
• Presents for all patients in hospital over Christmas
• Post-operative bras and softee breast forms designed to make recovery from breast surgery more comfortable (Bolton NHS Foundation Trust is the only Trust to offer this to patients)
• Scalp cooling machine designed to minimise the risk of hair loss during cancer treatment
• Enhancement of the baby memorial garden so bereaved parents have a peaceful place of reflection following the loss of a baby during pregnancy, birth or the months shortly after birth
• Refurbishment of staff rest facilities so our NHS colleagues have easy access to comfortable, relaxing and well-equipped spaces where they can prepare a meal and take time to rest and reflect
