About the funds

QE Gateshead Charitable Funds is a registered charity set up by Gateshead's Queen Elizabeth Hospital for people who want to donate money or fundraise for our services.

Many patients and friends and family are so touched by the high quality care they have received from our staff that they want to give something back. We are extremely grateful for all donations and fundraising activity which takes place on our behalf.

We have a general charity which supports a variety of work across the hospital. Individual wards and departments also have their own funds which people can donate to or raise funds for. This money is then used to purchase specific equipment or research within that department which will help to enhance the patient experience.

In 2013, you raised almost £400,000 to support the work of the hospital. Thank you.
