UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON HOSPITALS CHARITY 

Although our remit is NHS-wide, we primarily provide grants to UCL Hospitals. We aim to ensure that our grant-making activities promote innovation within the Hospitals and help them to operate more effectively. Our areas of support include equipment and infrastructure; staff and patient welfare and amenities and medical research.
