To further the amazing work of Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie, ACT’s Patient Benefit Grants support projects over and above NHS core funding by investing in the latest equipment, cutting-edge treatments, creation of calm spaces for both patients and staff, as well as wellbeing projects that have a direct benefit for patients.
How do I apply?
You can apply for a Patient Benefit Grant through the ACT Funding Portal.
What can I apply for?
Broadly speaking, you can apply for anything that:
- delivers a clear benefit to patients at Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie, their relatives and carers or CUH staff
and
- is over and above NHS funding.
We welcome applications large and small from across CUH – our funding is open to all CUH staff and services and is not limited to specific areas, departments or wards.
Patient Benefit Grant applications can be of any value but if you’d like to make an application over £25,000, please get in touch with us first to discuss your idea.
And no matter what the value of your application, if you have any questions, or you would like to talk through any ideas you have to make Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie even better, we would love to hear from you! Please email fundsandgrants@act4addenbrookes.org.uk
When will I find out whether my application has been successful?
- If your application is under £10,000 it will be considered by ACT’s Funding Review Group, which meets weekly. You can expect to hear back from us within 2 weeks.
- If your application is £10,000 or more, it will be reviewed by the Professional Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC is made up of a multi-disciplinary body of CUH and ACT staff and meets once a month. They then make recommendations to the Charitable Expenditure Committee.
Is there an application deadline?
There is no deadline. You can submit an application for an ACT Patient Benefit Grant at any time. Your application will be considered at the next relevant meeting – the dates for 2025 are:
