In my first year as Chair of the Charitable Funds Committee, it is clear to me what a year of great resilience and determination it has been for the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity team.

It has been particularly great to witness so many supporters throwing themselves into their fundraising, as we all navigate our way through the ever-changing financial environment.

Thank you again to everybody who continues to help us touch the lives of the hundreds of thousands of patients who use our services each year. We do not take the generous donations of our supporters for granted as we spend our funds wisely and work together to take the hospitals into the future.

– Claire Whitaker CBE – Chair of Charitable Funds Committee (from 1 October 2023)
