After providing for their loved ones, many people choose to make a gift to their local hospital in recognition of personal treatment, or that provided to a relative or friend, or simply because they believe in making a difference.

By leaving a gift in your Will to SHINE, you can help improve the lives of people using mental health, learning disability and neurological services across Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear.

Charitable gifts help SHINE go beyond standard care. They allow us to respond to different needs and create opportunities that would not otherwise be possible.

It is an honour to receive a legacy donation that will improve patient wellbeing across our NHS services. Our Charitable Funds Team can provide confidential help and advice on appropriate wording for your Will.
