Raising money for

Barts and The London Charity

Charity Registration No. 212563

We are the independent registered charity for the three hospitals of Barts and The London NHS Trust – Barts in the City (Britain’s oldest hospital, founded 1123), The Royal London, in Whitechapel, (founded 1740) and The London Chest, in Bethnal Green (founded 1848) - and their excellent schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. Charitable giving by patients, local communities and businesses has always played and will continue to play a vital role in our hospitals. Their support helps provide state of the art facilities and equipment; supports cutting-edge research and innovations in treatments and ensures the best possible standards for our patients, staff and local communities. The hospitals still rely on the generosity of donors and volunteering from people in our diverse local communities and from those further afield. The Charity’s vital work cannot continue without the help of people like you.

My story

I walked 250 miles from Salzburg to get here! This 19th century romanticised bust of Mozart is in the Steffl department store in Vienna, occupying the space (though not the building) where he died.

Vienna was also the scene of some of Mozart's greatest successes. He was my inspiration for starting and running the Ambache Chamber Orchestra for 24 years, and the trip didn't disappoint. Jeremy has created a blog of it (including photos) at www.MozartandtheMicroscope.blogspot.com.

My other purpose was to raise money for the neurosurgeon thanks to whom I am alive. He will use £10,000 for a special teaching microscope at the Royal College of Surgeons where he is the neurosurgical tutor. The rest goes to ancillary equipment (not provided by the NHS) at The Royal London hospital where I was treated, in consultation with the nurses.

As you see, we are near our target! Our costs were met, so 100% of all donations will go to the Barts and The London charity.

I do hope you would be willing to contribute. £10 would be much appreciated, £100 would be excellent! The fund remains open until November 1st.
