As a charity our mission is simple: to support the excellence in treatment, research and care we provide to our patients at our family of 10 NHS hospitals in Manchester and Trafford, each and every day. We want to make a real difference to the people we treat young and old by making sure that they continue to receive the very best treatment in the very best facilities. We do this by focusing our fundraising efforts on three key areas treatment, research and care. This can include the purchase of cutting-edge equipment, funding pioneering medical research and creating a patient-friendly environment allowing patients, and their families, to feel welcome and at ease during their time in hospital.
