Ensuring funds are made the most of
These quarterly meetings consist of funding updates from the fundraising staff, financial update and then grant applications for approval.
Our friendly team
The day-to-day work of the charity is delivered by a small team responsible for fundraising, grant management and communications. Funding decisions are made through a structured governance process involving our Charitable Funds Committee. We work in partnership with East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust to support healthcare services across the region. However, we are a separate registered charity, and we do not provide healthcare services or operate hospitals. The day-to-day operation of East Kent Hospitals Charity is led by a team of 6 who have fundraising, marketing, or financial responsibilities. They are led by Dee Neligan, Head of Charity, who reports to the Chair of the Board of Trustees.
