Why Volunteer With ACT?
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 every patient deserves the highest quality care possible. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, ACT helps our hospitals go beyond what NHS funding alone can provide.
Charitable donations help fund:
- High‑tech and life‑saving equipment
- Specialist staff and world‑class research
- Extra comforts that make a real difference to patients and families
As an ACT Information Hub Volunteer, you help connect people with the charity that makes all this possible.
