Show love for your local hospital
Our charity exists to enhance the experience of patients, their families, and staff at Milton Keynes University Hospital.
Together, we can help transform lives.
Our purpose
We want every patient, visitor, and staff member at Milton Keynes University Hospital to have the best experience possible.
As the hospital’s official registered charity, we’re proud to invest in projects and tangible items that are over and above the responsibility of the NHS.
But none of what we do would be possible without the support of our wonderful community in and around Milton Keynes.
Our impact
See how our work positively impacts the hospital and the people who rely on its services.
Our impact
Radiotherapy wellbeing hub appeal
We’re supporting the completion of the hospital’s new Radiotherapy Centre by fundraising for a special wellbeing hub on the site.
This new facility will offer a safe and peaceful haven for anyone undergoing cancer treatment, as well as their loved ones.
Our Impact
Cancer Centre Appeal
Following our 2018 appeal, Milton Keynes Hospital Charity successfully raised £1 million towards the hospital’s new purpose-built Cancer Centre.
The centre, opened in March 2020, is a dedicated space offering treatment and support to anyone affected by cancer in a more spacious, comfortable and welcoming environment.
Our Impact
BabyLeo Incubator Appeal
Our BabyLeo appeal, launched in September 2020, funded three new state-of-the-art incubators for the hospital’s Neonatal Unit.
The BabyLeos are considered the “Rolls Royce” of incubators and offer the latest in neonatal technology, with built-in weighing scales, special heating systems and personalisation.
Our Impact
Children’s Ward Appeal
In 2016 we raised £200,000 to transform the children’s wards at MKUH, funding colourful new artwork, sensory items and play equipment to make their hospital stays a little brighter.
How you can support us
Whether you’re volunteering your time, organising a fundraising event, or purchasing a special item from our Amazon Wish List, there are many ways you can support Milton Keynes Hospital Charity and make an impact.
