Our direct charitable expenditure was £41.9m. This includes £20.6m, distributed through our three NHS charities, to support Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust to deliver better, faster, fairer healthcare.

In 2024/25 we remained focused on:

Creating an organisation that delivers impact through our people and being a place where people can thrive.
Supporting our partners and communities in Lambeth, Southwark and beyond to break the links between urban areas, poverty, racism and poor health.
Working to support NHS patients and staff and deliver better, fairer, faster care beyond what the NHS trust can provide.
Continuing the positive performance of our endowment to allow us to achieve both financial returns and real-world outcomes that support our goals.

In 2024/25

£49.1m

committed through our work as a Foundation.

£6m

raised through our fundraising events and campaigns.

£32.8m

worth of charitable grants awarded, together with £9.1m of contract and other commitments.

Reflecting on our achievements, and the way our people have responded to change, over the last year, I am excited about the Foundation’s future. My thanks go to our brilliant team, to Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and to the many partners who contribute invaluable insights and expertise to strengthen our impact. Together we can be a catalyst for the changes needed in our society for everyone to stay healthier, for longer.
