Where your money goes
Your donations give us the opportunity to make things better for those undergoing physical or mental health care or treatment, or social care.
We work with services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS foundation Trust to empower our staff and patients to live better lives. All of our projects have direct impact on improving the experiences of our community.
We enhance the core work of CPFT, which supports a population of just under one million people with specialist NHS services. These include older people’s mental health and community care; community and mental health care for children, young people and their families; adult mental health care; and specialist learning disability services.
Recent projects we've funded include the following:
-
Wipe clean riser chair for the ICU Peterborough, assisting the physical rehabilitation of patients. This equipment will enable patients to practice using the chair with the aim to get patients home quicker.
-
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) books to expand the library for staff, diversity champions and students at the recovery college. Helping to spread the EDI message across the organization.
-
Hand held fans for the cardiac team which are for patients to support them to manage their condition in their own home.
-
Bowling event for adults with mental health conditions with the Huntingdonshire Adult Locality Team to help build friendships and confidence.
