Get involved NHS staff and Grants Access funding *Please note* Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are suspending awarding new grants with a value exceeding £5,000 until July. Grant applications with a value of £5,000 or less from earmarked funds are still being progressed. Please note that existing grants are unaffected by this decision and we are accommodating all requests for a no cost extension. If you have any queries or would like to discuss an idea for a future application then please contact Shasta Ashraf on [email protected] Our NHS staff already provide outstanding care and treatment, but they are also full of brilliant ideas that help to make their service, ward or hospital even better. Each year our charity supports the NHS in Sheffield by making over £2 million pounds of charitable grants to enhance the care and treatment for local patients.
