Charitable Funds

Our charity raises money to make a difference to the experience people have when they are being cared for by the Trust and to support members of #TeamIOWNHS, covering areas not covered or fully supported by NHS funds.

The people who use our services are often colleagues, neighbours and friends. Our close-knit community makes being part of the Island’s NHS a unique privilege.

Our charity is here to support all of us.

We are so grateful to everyone who donates to and fundraises for us. The impact this charitable giving has to our patients, staff members and services is huge.

Without the support of the public and the Island community we wouldn't have been able to manage as effectively as we did through the early phases of the COVID pandemic.

Charitable funds support a huge range of things to benefit staff and patients.

On behalf of the our charitable fund, thank you and we look forward to working with you to develop our charity in order to give back to the Island community and to members of #TeamIOWNHS

If you donate to our general Charitable Funds we will direct your kind donation to the best place to support our staff and patients.

You can donate to a specific service or area of the Trust too.

Read our annual reports and the impact we have had on the Charity Commission website.

From Thursday 1 September 2022, all patients, staff, and visitors are no longer required to wear a face mask at St Mary's Hospital and our other Trust sites.

These changes have been made in line with national guidance on the mandated use of face masks in healthcare settings and the reducing numbers of positive cases.

Our visitor policy continues to allow patients two visitors a day for up to an hour between 10am and 8pm, and these no longer need to be pre-booked.

Our restrictions, including mask wearing, will be reviewed regularly based on the current situation at St Mary's Hospital alongside the latest guidance from UK Government and NHS England.

Those with symptoms of a respiratory infection, including COVID-19, and a high temperature or who feel unwell, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to resume normal activities and they no longer have a high temperature.

If your symptoms are serious, or get worse, contact NHS 111.

Please visit our Patients and Visitors page for more information. This page was last updated on Thursday 15 September 2022.
