We have launched the Greatest Need Campaign to ensure we can support as many of the requests we receive as possible, so we are not limited to supporting only those wards and services that receive direct donations but can support every great idea, every innovation and support the greatest needs of our patients and staff, wherever they may arise. We want to support projects with significant and long-lasting impact that truly make a different to patient care.

We understand that when people donate to us they often have a very personal motivation for doing so and therefore they advise us where they wish their donation to support. We want to honour these wishes so we do our best to allocate the donation to the closest area of work or patient group. This means we don’t spend that donation elsewhere, but that can also make it challenging for us to support patients and staff across the full breadth of NHS Borders’ services.

We are therefore launching a campaign asking you to donate to the work of the charity, allowing us to identify and support projects, patients and staff where the need is greatest. This may be projects that support a specific team or service that traditionally doesn’t receive donations or, where there are sufficient funds to do so, it could be something that operates across all of NHS Borders.

Help us to ensure we can be there to support all of NHS Borders wherever and whenever the need arises…
