About NHS Charities Together. NHS
Charities Together is a membership organization representing,
supporting and championing NHS Charities. There are more than 230 NHS
charities across the UK and most of them focus on helping our hospitals
do more. Collectively these charities give £1 million every day to the
NHS so that people can stay well for longer and get better faster. These
vital funds and services are above and beyond what the NHS alone can
provide, touching lives and making a huge difference to millions of
people when they are at their most vulnerable.
