A little bit about us
Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust (ACT) is the dedicated hospital charity for Addenbrooke’s Hospital (Cambridge University Hospitals). Recently voted one of the top 100 hospitals in the world, Addenbrooke’s is a leader in the field of healthcare innovation and is recognised across the world as a pre-eminent teaching hospital. It is a centre of excellence for regional and national specialist services in cancer, paediatrics, organ transplantation, genetics, and neurosciences, with patients receiving the highest standard of medical expertise.
Addenbrooke’s is embarking on a bold journey of transformation to ensure that it is fit for the future, can provide the highest possible standard of care for its patients, and can continue to drive innovations that will impact people far beyond Cambridge.
As part of the first wave of transformation, two brand-new hospitals will be built: the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital and the Cambridge Children’s Hospital. These two specialist hospitals are being designed with patients at their heart and will combine first-class clinical expertise with world-class biomedical research to transform care for cancer patients and children regionally, nationally, and internationally. To make this vision a reality, ACT has launched two ambitious multi-year, multi-million-pound fundraising campaigns to support the development of these new hospitals, which makes this an extremely exciting time to be joining us. In parallel ACT has launched its Help Your Hospital Programme which, through fundraising, gives added value to Addenbrooke’s already excellent service provision and research.
We strive to make sure that all our activities are carried out in line with our organisational values, and that we are:
Supportive, Innovative, Ambitious and that we ACT with Integrity
