Who are The Health Tree Foundation?

Inspiring change in your local NHS


We will ensure that funds however big or small, are used to make a positive difference to our community’s healthcare.

Your help means we can provide acute hospital and community services to people across North and North East Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

We hope to inspire, engage, and channel the charitable intent of your local community, helping to turn donations of time and money into making your NHS Sparkle.

Together we can make a difference

The projects we fund through your continued generosity improve the hospitals themselves, support the research that will deliver the treatments of tomorrow, enable staff to benefit from specialist medical training, and install state-of-the-art equipment and community services across our region.


Even by making the smallest changes across the regions we serve, we can make the biggest differences together.

How we raise money

Fundraising would not be possible without the backing of our local communities and businesses. Whether organising an event, running a marathon, or holding a raffle, the tireless support of the local people makes such a big difference to our hospitals.  

Not only do we have our incredible fundraisers, we also have the generosity of those who remember us in their Will and leave a legacy that will always be remembered.  

We are also lucky to have access to amazing organisations all over the country where we can apply for grants to help further improve the patient experience in our hospitals.
