About

Bedford Hospital Charity & Friends are continually fundraising to provide the most up to date equipment, facilities and services at Bedford Hospital for the benefit of all patients who need the services of our hospital. 

Over the last two years we have supported Bedford Hospital with the introduction of a dedicated Paediatric A&E, followed by the installation of CT in A&E - The Clifton Ibbett Suite - and also helped install the best Robotic Surgery equipment on the market for our surgeons. We are now concluding our fundraising efforts to install Cardiac CT Angiography at South Wing. This highly specialised CT scanner permits Cardiac Angiography to be performed without prior preparation with medication as currently is required for current Cardiac CT Scans. Once installed, Bedford patients will no longer need to wait several weeks/months for a CT Scan at Papworth Addenbrookes as currently happens.

We will then start fundraising for our new "Children's Cancer Services Appeal". We aim to raise £80,000 to refurbish two dedicated Cancer Care side rooms on Riverbank Ward where acutely ill children who develop complications whilst undergoing treatment at Addenbrookes or Great Ormond Street hospitals can be treated urgently. We are also raising funds to pay for the first year's salary for a dedicated Cancer Care Nurse Specialist. This will be a huge step forward in urgent treatment availability for Bedford children who are very sadly undergoing cancer treatment.

Thank you very much for your continued support.

The BHC&F Fundraising Campaign from Bedford Hospital Charity and Friends

"The Friends of Bedford Hospital" and "Bedford Hospitals Charity" joined forces in 2019 forming Bedford Hospital Charity & Friends. Our primary purpose is to support patients and staff at Bedford Hospital, by fundraising to install new equipment and improve facilities and services for all. To date the combined charities have raised well over £12 million for the hospital.

We currently have two appeals:
1) "The BHC&F Fundraising Appeal". We have just raised £600,000 to purchase the add-on equipment to a basic CT Scanner that allows Cardiac Angiography to be performed without prior preparation with medication as is currently required for Cardiac CT Scans. The scanner has been installed and has undergone safety testing and dedicated staff training. This amazing new highly intricate and specialised CT scanner will be operational in a matter of days! We will then start fundraising for our new "Children's Cancer Services Appeal". We aim to raise £80,000 to refurbish two dedicated Cancer Care side rooms on Riverbank Ward where acutely ill children who develop complications whilst undergoing treatment at Addenbrookes or Great Ormond Street hospitals can be treated urgently. We are also raising funds to pay for the first year's salary for a dedicated Cancer Care Nurse Specialist. This will be a huge step forward in urgent treatment availability for Bedford children who are very sadly undergoing cancer treatment.

2) "Primrose Car Service"  At no charge, a special team of volunteer drivers take Bedford Hospital out-patients for their radiotherapy treatment at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge.

If you would like to support and donate to either of these appeals please click on their dedicated donate buttons. We pride ourselves in that all members of the BHCF fundraising team are volunteers, ensuring that 99% of all donations go direct to patient and staff care.
