Sovereign Health Care has once again made a generous seasonal donation to Bradford Teaching Hospitals.
Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has a longstanding partnership with Sovereign, a Bradford-based company, which has been focused on the health and wellbeing of local people for over 150 years.
Sovereign’s Community Programme has been supporting local organisations and charities as well as the NHS for many years, making a real difference to people’s lives, and in the run up to Christmas, it presented the Trust with a special Christmas gift: a donation of £8,000.
This year’s donation will be split between funding for the Trust and the nurses’ training grant.
Neil McCallum, Sovereign’s Chief Executive, presented the cheque to the Trust’s Chief Nurse, Karen Dawber.
Karen said:
On behalf of the Trust, I would like to say a huge thank-you to Sovereign Health Care for their generous donation and continued support of nursing here at Bradford. Last year’s generous donation enabled us to resource our professional practice model and bespoke training.
This year we want to use the donation to further build links between our nursing and midwifery teams and our communities. We will be providing four £1,000 grants that colleagues can apply for to visit other communities and countries to see how healthcare is delivered. We hope this will help to promote equality, diversity and inclusion and reduce health inequalities.
Neil McCallum said:
Sovereign Health Care has been providing regular financial support to our local hospitals for over 150 years. Supporting NHS trusts is fundamental to our commitment to having a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of people across Yorkshire. We’re proud that this latest donation will help ensure that NHS staff can access valuable training and development to help to reduce health inequalities.
