Events

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust Charity supports the thousands of patients cared for by County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust.

Your local NHS Charity, through your kind donations and support from our local communities, is able to make a real difference to patient care and the experience of patients coming into hospital, clinics or being cared for in their own homes across County Durham and Darlington.

About us

We support County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust by providing funding for projects which enhance patient care and experience across hospital and community services.

Fundraising

We welcome your ideas to raise money to enhance patient care and experience. To help get you started, we’ve put together some ideas for inspiration.

Events

Every year, we organise an exciting events calendar to engage with our local communities in a range of different ways. We are also happy to discuss how we can support you if you’d like to run your own event on our behalf.
