About Us
Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust (ACT) is dedicated to supporting innovation in patient care at Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals. Whether it’s treatment for an emergency, acute condition, pregnancy, or long-term illness, we believe that every patient deserves the highest quality of care available. Thanks to the immensely generous support of our community, Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals can provide a level of patient care beyond that which can be delivered by NHS funding alone. Charitable donations fund high-tech equipment, specialist staff, extra comforts, and vital research to find potential cures and help save lives locally, nationally, and worldwide. We need your help to raise awareness of how people can help make our hospitals, Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie, even better.
