Donations to our charity are appreciated hugely and go a long way to enhance services and support patients and staff at Tameside & Glossop IC NHS Foundation Trust.  

To make a donation please visit our donations page.

If you prefer, you can also make a donation through the following methods: 

• Cheque: Print and complete our Donation Form to post with your cheque to: Tameside & Glossop IC NHS Foundation Trust, Fountain Street, Ashton Under Lyne, OL6 9RW

If you would like to choose where your kind donation is allocated, please mention this when making your donation.

If you do not wish to choose an area, or would like it to go where the need is greatest, your donation will be allocated to our general fund. This allows the donation to be used by teams and services across the trust to make the biggest impact.    

Thanks to the generosity and support of our local community, we are able to fund a wide variety of initiatives, projects and equipment across the trust. This makes a real difference to our patients and staff every day.  

Recently we have funded lots of amazing things, including:  

• A picnic bench with wheelchair access, which allows staff to relax in an outside space 

• Rempod LCD fish tanks to improve patient experience on ward 41 

• Apple blossom artwork in the Critical Care Unit that honours and remembers local organ and tissue donors 

• High backed chairs to improve comfort for parents, especially for nursing mums and children post-surgery 

• Breast cancer paradise pillows which make a great difference to patient comfort while the patient is recovering from surgery

Gift Aid allows charities like us to make your donation go even further by claiming an additional 25p on every £1 you donate which is eligible for Gift Aid.

Before we can claim the Gift Aid on your donations, you must complete a Gift Aid declaration to confirm you are eligible. You will be asked if you would like to complete a Gift Aid declaration when you donate through JustGiving or when you make a cheque/cash donation.

You can learn more about Gift Aid here on the gov.uk website.
