A massive thank you to Sovereign Health Care for their latest donation of £10,000 to our Trust. 

The cheque, presented last month was made in celebration of our 70th birthday and brings Sovereign’s total donations to the NHS over the last 10 years to £650,000.

Director of Nursing Jackie Murphy, said: “It's always a pleasure to welcome Sovereign back and I want to thank them for their ongoing support for our nursing workforce.  

"Last year’s donation enabled us to give more nurses the opportunity to attend developmental courses to enhance their careers with the trust, helping us to provide quality, safe care with compassion for our patients and their families.”

Sovereign Health Care has no shareholders, so any surplus is available to reinvest into the business or donate to good causes, particularly those that help improve health and wellbeing and encourage people to live healthy lifestyles, such as the NHS. As well as its annual grants – which go towards hospital funding and nurse training programmes – Sovereign’s work fundamentally supports the NHS year-round, by helping people be more proactive about their health via its cash plans.
