Introduction
Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity exists to create new possibilities for people with heart and lung diseases. Working closely with Royal Brompton & Harefield hospitals – part of Guy’s & St Thomas, the largest foundation trust in England – we fund life-changing projects to expand medical understanding and find innovative treatment options; to renew and upgrade equipment; and improve the everyday experience of patients and staff alike.
The charity
Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity is dedicated to improving the lives of people with serious heart and lung disease. Each year we grant around £6m to fund projects at our partner hospitals, including current initiatives such as:
* Equipping Royal Brompton Hospital with a high specification genetic sequencer to screen and plan treatment for patients and their families
* Creating a new consultant fellowship in imaging related to structural heart disease
* Providing core funding for the rb&hArts programme combining improvements to the hospital environment with therapeutic activities such as Singing for Breathing
* Supporting three fellowships annually to support allied health professionals in pursuing research projects
* Funding the Road to Recovery programme to provide mental health support for patients with long Covid
* Committing £100,000 to a Patients’ Fund each year, to support around 40 micro-projects from palliative care ‘comfort boxes’ to better seating and new televisions on wards
* Our funding comes from the fundraising efforts of thousands of supporters as well as income generated by our investments in property and equity markets.
We have a small, committed and skilled team (31 in 2025/26), with expertise across fundraising, marketing, HR, property management, grant-making and financial management.
We are committed to – and hold ourselves and each other to account for – the following core behaviours:
* Setting ourselves challenging goals, in order to achieve more for the charity’s beneficiaries
* Working as one team, sharing information and ideas, and valuing our diverse range of backgrounds and contributions
* Solving problems, using our resources, our networks and our creativity to provide a better service
* Creating opportunities to learn, and supporting each other to grow
* Enjoying our work, celebrating our successes and finding time to have fun as a team.
