Ways you can support

Make a donation

Every donation you choose to give or raise makes a difference to the work in Gloucestershire’s Hospitals.

All of us have a reason to give something back to your NHS teams. You may have been treated yourself or you know of a loved one who has benefited from our care.

Your donations enable us to continue to support your hospital staff and also to enhance the environment and equipment available to patients over and above what the NHS can provide.

There are a number of ways that you can donate to us:

• One-off Gift - Want to thank our NHS staff for the care they gave a loved one? Well, you can give a one-off gift to us and specify where you would like your money to go. You can do this by simply filling in our simple donation form here.
• Support our Big Space Cancer Appeal - You can make a donation to our Big Space Cancer Appeal to help transform cancer care in Gloucestershire with a new state-of-the-art centre in Cheltenham. To donate, please visit our campaign page.
• Make a regular donation - You can support our work by setting up a regular donation from as little as £2 a month or an amount you specify. Simply, fill in our online form here

How our supporters have helped make a difference: Forget-Me-Not Wing Walk

The Forget-Me-Not support group embarked on a series of fundraising challenges to help support our Baby Loss Remembrance Garden appeal, and their wing walk was the biggest challenge yet.

Adrian, Danielle, Claire, Abbie and Jessica completed their adrenaline-fueled challenge and raised £5,155 so far. The Support Group have been extremely motivated in helping us fund a space that will provide quiet reflection to families within Gloucestershire Royal.

How our supporters have helped make a difference: The Big Space Cancer Appeal

Fundraiser Clive Organ went the extra mile for The Big Space Cancer Appeal. He not only cycled more than 1,600km from Land’s End to John O' Groats, but also climbed Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales, while on the route as well.

The 60-year-old, from Churchdown, and his brother Dave, 61, from Cheltenham, have raised more than £5,800 so far with their sponsored bike ride in September.

“When I watched the video about the appeal, I knew I wanted to do something to help. I have always wanted to do the Lands’ End to John O’ Groats cycle ride, but we thought we would make it harder by adding in climbing the three peaks of Snowdon, Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike on the route as well,” he said.

“Sadly, due to weather and timing we could only get Snowdon done on the two-week trip, but we will be going back to climb the others in the spring and hopefully raise even more money for the appeal. He added: “It was a tough ride in places especially on all the hills of Devon and Cornwall but every time it got hard, I thought about what we were doing it for, and it helped motivate us to keep going.”
