On Sunday 18 May 2025, staff at Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust will be taking on the ultimate adrenaline-fueled challenge as they buckle in on the upper wing of a propeller plane and soar above the Kent landscape.

The participants will be raising money to enhance NHS patient care and staff experience in Sussex.

Who we are

We are the official charity of Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust (SCFT).

We support the work of the Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust and its people to deliver the vision of excellent care at the heart of the community.

Our aim is to give people choice about the care they receive and to enhance patient welfare and support our staff. Whenever and wherever people need us, we will meet their needs with high quality services that are safe, effective, compassionate and respectful.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our communities, who raise and donate vital funds, we are able to provide grants for equipment, programmes or services that can't be funded by the core NHS budget.

Through our active grant-making programmes, the charity aims to:

- improve patient welfare, for example through clinical innovation, advanced technologies, facility upgrades, medical research and art and design programmes

- support the Trust's staff and volunteers through advanced training and development programmes and recognition schemes

- create patient-friendly care environments and enhanced staff experience through improvements to physical spaces

All donations will support our "Where the need is greatest" appeal. Find our more at on our website.
