We are Manchester Foundation Trust Charity.
We raise funds for Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country. Our Trust is made up of 10 hospitals which provide a full range of hospital services to 850,000 people across Manchester, Trafford and beyond. It is the biggest single provider of specialised services in England, with patients coming from across the country to receive the expert care provided in our hospitals.
Our Trust is a leader in healthcare research and innovation and our clinical teams are at the forefront of many major medical breakthroughs. Our Trust is also home to two Local Care Organisations (LCOs) which run NHS community health and adult social care services in Manchester and Trafford.
