WHAT WE’RE FUNDRAISING FOR NOW

Radiotherapy appeal

Our radiotherapy appeal is launching soon 
We’re very excited to be supporting the new MKUH radiotherapy centre by launching a fundraising appeal this April. 

Those of you who supported our cancer centre appeal that ran from 2018-2020 will remember the many events and opportunities we organised so that people could fundraise and be involved. Through the appeal we’ll be enhancing the experience for patients and families right here in Milton Keynes. 

If you would like to register for details you can sign up to our newsletter by emailing fundraising@mkuh.nhs.uk.

Be Seen In Green – back later this year! 

Join in the fifth year of our campaign to get everyone fundraising for the hospital by holding green-themed events. Whether you want to have a green cake sale, or wear green clothes at school, treat your colleagues to a plant sale in the office, or just do a sponsored run or walk wearing the charity’s green colour, then it’s up to you. 

Find out more from our dedicated Be Seen in Green page, and get involved!

Fundraising for wards and departments

Many of our wards, departments, services and teams at the hospital benefit from patients, families and staff fundraising specifically for them. Over the past few years you’ve raised money for: 

  • The Cancer Centre: raising more than £1 million towards this state-of-the-art centre 
  • The Neonatal Unit: you’ve raised an amazing £100,000 for new BabyLeo incubators 
  • The Cardiology waiting room: this refurb of a vital space for patients and families has raised £24,000 
  • Children’s A&E: your donations are supporting improvements to this area to make it a more welcoming for stressed children and anxious parents 
  • Gardens and artwork around the hospital: every year we need to raise more than £50,000 to continue enhancing public spaces such as corridors and gardens within MKUH – funding special artwork and transforming and maintaining garden spaces. 

If you would like to raise money for a specific area or department, please contact fundraising@mkuh.nhs.uk and we can talk you through how to do it. And don’t forget that it’s absolutely fine to raise money for the hospital in general, if that’s what you’d prefer, and we’ll use the money you donate wherever the need is greatest.
