Barts Charity
Barts Hike for Health 2023
To celebrate the 900th anniversary of St Bartholomews Hospital, Barts Charity is holding its inaugural Barts Hike for Health, a walk through the City of London and the East side of the Thames.
Story
Barts Health NHS Trust is one of the largest trusts in the UK and has a proud 900-year heritage as a world-leader in healthcare. Its hospitals are in the unique position of sitting on the doorstep of Londons major business and financial centres, while also serving some of the most deprived boroughs in the country. Patients in East London develop long-term and life-limiting illnesses much younger.
One of our most important appeals in our history will coincide with the 900th anniversary of St Bartholomews Hospital: the Barts 900 Campaign. Our goal is to raise £30 million to fund two new world-class medical centres in East London that will serve residents and employers in the area, delivering local and global impact:
a dedicated Breast Cancer Centre at St Bartholomews Hospital
a cutting-edge Clinical Research Facility at The Royal London Hospital.
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a vision for the future of healthcare, benefiting some 2.5 million patients in East London and around the world for generations to come.
All funds raised through this event will support this vital project.
