NHS Grampian Charity is the official charity of NHS Grampian. We are responsible for managing the generous donations made by supporters to ensure that they are used to provide benefits for patients and staff, to enhance services and to provide support in our communities. We want to ensure patients have the best possible healthcare experience and we award grants to NHS Grampian services and staff, researchers, charities and community organisations to support projects which enhance health and wellbeing. The donations we receive are only used to enhance the services of NHS Grampian and do not replace statutory responsibilities. Everything NHS Grampian Charity supports is for the benefit of patients and for the health and wellbeing of the people of Grampian.
