You can easily donate to Gateshead Health Charity through our JustGiving page. JustGiving provides a secure platform for online donations, allowing you to contribute quickly and conveniently.

Make a payment using our JustGiving page or set up your own fundraising page.

If you prefer to donate through a bank transfer, you can make a donation directly to our bank account. Please contact us for our bank details and reference information.

We also accept donations in the form of cheques. You can make your cheque payable to “Gateshead Health Charity” and then send it to Gateshead Health Charity, Trust HQ, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Sheriff Hill, Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, NE9 6SX.

If your cheque is for a specific ward or department, please specify this on the back of the cheque and include a covering letter.

Leaving a legacy to Gateshead Health Charity in your will allows you to make a lasting impact on the future of healthcare in Gateshead. If you are considering this option, the process using our charitable status (our registered charity number is 1086145) is simple and straightforward and could also mean your loved ones pay a reduced amount of inheritance tax.

In addition to monetary donations, we also welcome gifts in kind. If you have equipment, supplies, or other non-monetary contributions that could benefit our cause, please contact us to discuss the details.

Donating in memory of a loved one who has passed away is a way of paying a special tribute to that person at the same time as helping our very worthy cause.

There are a number of ways you could make a donation in memory, such as:

  • Make a donation in their name through our charity office. If you would like to present a cheque in memory of a loved one to a specific ward where they were cared for, please contact us to arrange this.
  • Hold a collection at your loved one’s funeral or memorial ceremony. Asking friends and family to make a donation in lieu of flowers is a wonderful gesture. If you would like a collection box, please contact us.
  • Do your own fundraising or take part in an event or challenge. We will help you every step of the way if you decide to do this for us and this is a great way to celebrate the life and memory of someone close to you.
  • You can also make your donation online through our JustGiving page.

Gift Aid

Did you know that if you are a UK taxpayer, we can claim an additional 25p for every £1 you donate – at no extra cost to you?

The Inland Revenue allows us to claim back income tax on cash and cheque donations from UK taxpayers.

We can only claim this extra 25% if you provide your name and address, including postcode, and confirm that you wish us to do this on your behalf.

To allow us to claim this extra cash and make an even bigger difference to our staff patients ad visitors, download and fill in our Gift Aid form and return this with your donation.
