Vision and mission

Our vision is to enhance Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's capacity to deliver an outstanding service in compassionate excellence to its patients.

Oxford Hospitals Charity (registered charity 1175809) exists to support the strategic priorities of the Trust in providing the best possible healthcare for its catchment area of around two million people from across the region and beyond - raising standards above the level that NHS funding alone allows.

The charity helps to enhance the hospital environment, purchase equipment that will make a real difference for patients and contributes to research, staff development and training.

The hospitals that we support are:

John Radcliffe Hospital (All wards and departments, including the West Wing, Eye Hospital, Heart Centre and Women's Centre)
Oxford Children's Hospital
Churchill Hospital (All areas across the Churchill, including Transplant and the Oxford Cancer and Haematology Centre)
Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre (including Children's and the Oxford Centre for Enablement)
Horton General Hospital, Banbury (All wards and departments, including the Brodey Cancer Centre and Horton Children's Ward)

We are members of the Fundraising Regulator and take our responsibility to our supporters very seriously indeed.

We are governed by our Trustees who steer the charity and decide upon spending.
