We are the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity and Volunteer Team
We are the registered charity for Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust
Our MISSION
Our mission is to help Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust to enhance patient care and experience.
We’re really proud to fund the added extras that make the biggest difference for patients, their loved ones, visitors and colleagues - making a long lasting and life-changing difference.
Somewhere along the line our funding is likely to have helped you or someone you love.
Our Priorities are to:
ENHANCE PATIENT EXPERIENCE
Creating spaces that heal - we transform tired, underused areas into welcoming, healing environments. We provide the extras that make hospital stays more comfortable and supportive.
PROGRESS SERVICES AND INNOVATION
Innovating for better outcomes - we fund emerging technologies, treatments, and medical equipment that can change — or even save — lives. These innovations bring the best care to our hospitals and patients.
SUPPORT TRUST COLLEAGUES AND THEIR WELLBEING
Caring for those who care - our people are our greatest asset. We invest in wellbeing, rest areas, and training so colleagues feel valued and supported — leading to better care for patients.
WORK IN PARTNERSHIP
Healthier communities, together - we partner with local organisations to tackle health inequalities and build stronger, healthier communities across Calderdale and Huddersfield.
OUR TEAM
Our Charity and Volunteer Services Team are here to bring a ray of sunshine to everyday at CHFT, we do this by working with Trust colleagues, patients, visitors and our communities.
Working alongside the team, our amazing volunteers improve the quality of services and enhance patient experience within our two hospitals, making a difference over and above the core responsibilities of NHS staff.
