Birmingham Community Healthcare (BCHC) Charity is the official
charity supporting Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. BCHC Charity exists to enhance patient’s experience while they’re
under our care. We fund the ‘extras’ such as items, projects, activities,
research and training courses that are not covered by the core NHS funds.

These extras are the sorts of things that bring a smile to our
patients of all ages and their families and carers, and can range from smaller things like books, toys and toiletries all the way up to huge projects like our therapeutic playground for children with prosthetic limbs. We’ve renovated garden areas, funded beautiful murals, thrown festive parties with food, drink and gifts, provided sensory lighting spaces, entertained patients with music, magic and days out, and loads more!

Accessing healthcare, especially going into hospital or respite care,
can be a scary and daunting experience. We're working to make these experiences
more comfortable, more fun and less daunting by supporting patients, their families and carers and our staff.
