Last year the Charity took its first step to becoming a truly audience led Charity by launching three charity brands to support Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust: Guy's & St Thomas' Charity, Evelina London Children's Charity and Guy's Cancer Charity. The fundraising team works across all three charities to support the incredible NHS staff and healthcare across the hospital sites and communities, including raising transformational levels of funding that develops world leading innovations in healthcare.
