Governing law
These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by the laws of England and any dispute arising from these Terms & Conditions or your use of the website shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
Appeal Terms and Conditions
As a charity, we exist to push boundaries over and above what the NHS alone can provide; ensuring each and every patient and family cared for by our hospitals benefits from improved standards of excellence in treatment, patient experience and research. All appeal donations help to make our vision for change a reality.
Raising funds and organisational overheads cost real money. As such, in order to run in a professional and effective way, our charity does incur necessary costs. These are often included within appeal totals as the associated costs.
This includes the costs (including staff costs) of seeking and securing donations; grants and legacies; staging events; advertising; the production of marketing and direct mail materials and publicity costs designed to further our purpose. We also include a relevant proportion to support costs for governance, IT and finance.
In the event the funds raised exceed the funding requirements of an appeal or project, any further donations will be used wherever the need is greatest across our hospitals. Or if insufficient funds are raised and the appeal cannot be fulfilled, we will seek to identify a secondary purpose that supports the patients who would have benefitted from the original appeal. We would naturally communicate with our supports to inform of any changes made.
