Staff fundraising
Whether you’re raising money for your own department or a cause close to your heart, every effort - big or small - helps us go further.
Staff fundraising - how to get involved!
Fundraising is a fantastic way to bring colleagues together, boost morale, and make a real difference to patients, families, and staff across our hospitals. Whether you’re raising money for your own department or a cause close to your heart, every effort - big or small - helps us go further.
Our Community Fundraising Team is here to support you every step of the way. While they work closely with local community groups, they’re also dedicated to helping colleagues across the Trust make fundraising simple, fun, and rewarding. From ideas and planning to resources and promotion, we’ll help you turn your idea into something impactful.
Fundraising is also a great team-building opportunity. It’s a chance to connect with colleagues, have fun, and support something meaningful together—whether that’s your own ward, another department, or a wider hospital appeal.
There are so many ways to get involved!
20 for 20 Staff Fundraising Challenge
Sometimes the smallest contributions can make the biggest difference. Many of the ideas we fund through our responsive grants programme are quick to deliver and have an immediate impact on patients and staff.
From bravery stickers and certificates in the children’s hospital, to portable speakers for radiotherapy patients, or dementia-friendly tea parties - smaller grants can transform experiences in simple but meaningful ways.
By raising or donating just £20 as part of our 20 for 20 challenge, you can help fund even more of these ideas and support the moments that matter most.
Take on a hero event
Looking for something a bit more adventurous? Why not take on one of our hero events!
From abseiling and skydiving to dragon boating along the River Trent with your colleagues, our annual events programme is designed to help you raise funds while having an unforgettable experience.
It’s a great way to challenge yourself, bond as a team, and support your hospitals at the same time.
Ready, set, bake!
Bake sales are a classic for a reason—they’re simple, fun, and bring people together.
You can host your own bake sale at any time of year or get involved in the NUH Big Bake.
We’ve got everything you need to get started, including posters, recipe cards, and fundraising tips to help make your event a success.
