About us

NHS Charities Together is the national charity for the NHS. We’re here for everyone who uses and works in the NHS, now and for generations to come.


We believe that everyone should have access to the best possible healthcare. But right now, that’s not happening. People are living longer, with more long term and complex health conditions, and the NHS is becoming increasingly overstretched. This means that too many of us are finding it hard to access vital services and we’re not getting the same opportunities to live well. We work with a network of over 230 local and specialist NHS charities across the UK to break down barriers to access, ease pressure on the NHS and improve healthcare experiences for patients and staff.

A message from our CEO, Ellie Orton

Thank you so much for your interest in working at NHS Charities Together.  This is an exciting time to join our team and our charity is on an incredible journey.


We are very proud of what we achieve as a small but growing staff team. We work hard to raise the profile of NHS charities, demonstrate our collective impact, and inspire continued support from the public.


If you are passionate about the helping the NHS tackle today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities and believe that through supporting NHS charities it is possible to significantly increase the vital support given to our hospitals, community, mental health, and ambulance services, we would love to hear from you.
