Thank you for visiting the Birmingham Community Healthcare Urgent Appeal page. In these uncertain times, we need your help now more than ever so we can support patients, service users and BCHC staff across the city.

Help us support our patients and staff through this crisis

Our amazing NHS colleagues are going above and beyond the call of duty for our patients and service users, and we want to ensure we can support them to have everything they need to continue doing so.

The current crisis has meant that colleagues working around the clock need essential food parcels and other items to support their wellbeing. Patients and service users who are unable to have visitors need extra facilities to reduce isolation and keep them in touch with loved ones.

We have already seen a reduction in income due to cancelled events and fundraising, so we need your help now more than ever to enable us to continue our essential support.

If you had intended to take part in one of our events, or raise funds on our behalf at an organised event, please consider making a donation instead. This will be a huge help in allowing us to continue making a difference during this difficult period.

Please help us through this crisis by giving what you can today or by committing on a regular basis.

Alternatively, why not hold your own virtual fundraiser? Anything you can do to help us continue to make a difference during what will undoubtedly be a trying time for the charity would be greatly welcomed.

If you have any questions or queries, or to find out more about holding your own fundraiser, please contact the BCHC Charity Team bchc.charity@bhamcommunity.nhs.uk

We cannot thank you enough for your support, past and present, and we wish you all health, happiness and safety during this uneasy time.
