Staff funding

We offer access to funding for projects that directly benefit children and their families being treated at Evelina London Children’s Hospital.

For projects that relate to women’s health outside of maternity, obstetrics and fertility care, you will need to seek funding from the Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity.

To access funding, you must be a member of staff at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, including those holding honorary contracts.

There are a few ways in which we award charitable funding to projects at Evelina London.

Staff can apply for funding through an open application. In this process, the charity asks staff to submit ideas for funded projects as part of a themed call out. Read on to find out how to stay informed about these call outs.

On occasion, and where the charity is aware of an area of work that directly aligns with our funding strategy, the charity will directly invite staff to submit an application for funding.

We also have Special Purpose Funds (SPFs). These are funds donated to us for a specific purpose and are managed by fundholders. SPFs are used to support a range of activities across Evelina London, which include investment in education, patient care, equipment, research and staff wellbeing. Discover our list of SPFs or get in touch if you have any questions.

We can’t guarantee that your project idea will align with one of our funding opportunities, but we are keen to support the development of the best work at Evelina London.

You can find some helpful project management resources, provided by the Centre for Innovation, Transformation and Improvement (CITI) when you log in to The College of Healthcare Learning Hub (COHLH).
