About Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT)
Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT) is the only registered charity dedicated to supporting innovation in patient care across Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals. The hospitals have earned the reputation of being among the world's best academic healthcare organisations, and ACT's aim is to support those achievements by raising funds for cutting edge technology, additional specialist staff, environmental enhancements and extra comforts for patients that make all the difference. We also provide seed funding for early stage research projects, supporting the hospitals' clinical academics keen to embark on a research career. This funding then often leverages more ambitious research funding opportunities, and as such can be an essential component in identifying global cures and advances in treatment. With the help of our supporters, ACT has been able to fund a broad range of projects and services across the hospitals, including raising funds to transform cancer and children’s services, further our research programme, facilitate innovative new projects and provide small comforts that can mean so much to patients every day. Registered charity number: 1170103
