What we do

CW+ is the official charity of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which includes Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, West Middlesex University Hospital and a range of community-based services across London.

We bring the plus

We are an independent charity working in partnership with Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, raising funds to support the delivery of outstanding care to a population of more than 1.5 million people. But we don’t stop at fundraising.

Our staff team includes experts in healthcare innovation, design and environment, fundraising, communications, major infrastructure projects, grant programme delivery, finance, impact evaluation, and all the other disciplines needed to run a busy organisation.

CW+ is a great charity with great people at its heart who really, really care about making sure I get the resources I need to deliver for my patients

Deliver, learn, share

In addition to raising money that helps our Trust build new facilities and buy state-of-the-art equipment, we also contribute to the delivery of care through our funded programmes and initiatives such as CW Innovation. Learn more about how the grants we give, the art we curate and the activities we deliver make a difference to staff and patients.

We make sure that what we learn and what we know can be shared to help others in our healthcare community, across the NHS and beyond. See our Regional and national work.
