Above & Beyond Charities is the charity for all nine hospitals within University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust. The Charity funds projects which touch the lives of the thousands of people cared for by the Hospitals and their local community services each year.We improve the environment for patients and staff and we further medical knowledge through research. We also support staff development and training and we fund equipment that makes a real difference to patient care. With eight hospitals in the centre and south of Bristol, we are one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and the major teaching and research centre for the South West of England. We provide general medical and emergency services to the local population of Central and South Bristol, and a broad range of specialist services across a region that extends from Cornwall to Gloucestershire, into South Wales and beyond.
