Barts Charity is dedicated to supporting improvements to healthcare and transformative research with a primary focus on the issues that matter to the people of East London. It does this by funding high-quality research, innovative patient care projects and NHS staff wellbeing initiatives that would otherwise not be funded by the NHS or other funders.
It focuses its funding on supporting Barts Health NHS Trust, which runs St Bartholomew’s, The Royal London, Mile End, Whipps Cross and Newham Hospitals, and the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London, where there are six medical research institutes. We also support researchers at the School of Health Sciences at City, University of London.
