What you can do to help support UCH London Nurses’ Charity?

Make a Donation

We support a Benevolent Fund which is is a restricted fund held by the Charity and it is managed by the Volunteer Trustees of the Charity. It is available for associate members of the Charity who are in need of financial assistance in a period of hardship due to ill health, accident or disability.

We support an Education Fund aims to assist associate members with grants for postgraduate education. This might take the form of a recognised course, a study tour or an educational project that could help the associate member with their career.

Knit for Elderly Care Wards

Calling all knitters and crafters….. have you heard about Twiddlemuffs? They provide a valuable focus for patients with dementia and delirium, designed to provide a stimulation activity for restless hands that can really help calm people. The key is to have lots of bits and bobs attached to fiddle with, then when they leave the hospital, the patient can take them home, so there is always a demand for twiddlemuffs.
