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.
