We are a registered charity managed by a board of trustees made up of residents local to the town of Royston, Herts, England
In the last two years the Charity has provided over £100,000 of funding in fulfilling it’s objectives.
Awards have been made for PPE during the early days of Covid, counselling and therapy for children and adults with psychological and behavioural issues along with specialist equipment to improve lives.
We have also financially supported the charity Homestart over a number of years.
The charity began life in 1967 as The Friends of Royston & District Hospital and its objectives were to support the patients of the hospital.
When the hospital closed it’s wards the objectives were changed so as to allow us to provide benefits to local residents where the National Health Service is not fulfilling the need in question.
At the outset of the covid pandemic we provided emergency funding of £25,000 to Homestart to enable them to carry on their good work in the community.
We have supported Homestart for a number of years with a total funding approaching £100,000.
We provided emergency pandemic funding of £10,000 for PPE equipment to each of the local GP practices.
We provided part funding of an electric wheelchair to enable a disabled woman to get out and about with her family.
We provided emergency funding to Magpas Air Ambulance following a television appeal for PPE funding. We have granted a further £3,000 for the provision of essential drugs on the Air Ambulance.
An eight-years old Melbourn schoolgirl having a rare genetic condition has been provided with a new safe and inclusive playhouse.
Applications for assistance need to be endorsed by a health professional or a child`s school.
