We provide financial support to help NHS staff return to work or stay in their roles, with grants of up to £5,000.

We support by funding tangible items or covering essential costs that allow you to focus on work or create ‘study time’ via funding to allow you take on essential training or further education to help you stay working within the NHS.

Examples of how we help:

• Paying for travel to and from work, via bus passes or rail cards
• Helping maintain working hours through funding of additional childcare costs
• Funding of rehabilitation or mental health support to return to work
• Payment of essential study items

All of these examples need to be directly linked with helping you return to work or stay within an NHS role.

We want to help you keep doing what you do best – caring for patients.

What we are not

We are not a hardship fund. We appreciate the increase to the cost of living is having a significant impact on people’s lives, and NHS workers at all levels are feeling this. However, we do not support with financial hardship cases by paying off people’s debt. Our aim is to help people stay within the NHS or return to their full working capacity.

Where we can point you towards charities that support with financial hardship, we will do.
