Leeds Hospitals Charity (formerly Leeds Cares)
Leeds Hospitals Charity works with donors and fundraisers to support Leeds Teaching Hospitals. The aim of Leeds Hospitals Charity is to build on the already amazing work of the NHS, supporting doctors, nurses and healthcare workers across the city.
Their work helps to ease the constant pressure on NHS services by funding things that make all the difference, but that the NHS doesn’t provide. This can include extra equipment, facilities, research, education, people and support – all of which help NHS heroes provide the very best care for both patients and their anxious families.
Leeds Hospitals Charity helps NHS workers to keep doing their best for all of us, by giving them much needed support. People can donate directly to Leeds Hospitals Charity, or buy from their online shop, or shop at the brand new Leeds Hospitals Charity shop in Cross Gates.
