What your support makes possible

Every donation directly supports patients and staff at the Royal Bolton Hospital and across our community sites. Here are a few examples of what your generosity could provide:

£1,000

A supply of arts and craft materials for patients who may find a hospital stay particularly lonely or distressing.

£3,000

Reclining chairs so new parents can comfortably enjoy those all-important skin-to-skin cuddles with their premature baby.

£5,000

Portable ultrasound equipment so patients can be diagnosed and treated in the place they call home.

£10,000

A year’s worth of meals for parents who are caring for a poorly child in hospital.

Our Bolton stories

Your stories are what drive us to achieve more — the impact of the charity’s investments, and the incredible efforts of the people of Bolton who fundraise for us. Our Bolton stories are the heart of Our Bolton NHS Charity.
