Our Micro Grants Programme is designed to help bring your ideas to life. If you have a project that goes above and beyond what the NHS can fund, we’d love to hear from you.
Projects must be for the benefit of patients and align with one of the priorities of Southampton Hospitals Charity. Proposals may be for kit and equipment, an event, or technology.
View the guidance document for applying for Micro grants here.
The form must be completed in one sitting – it will not save your entry as you write.
If it is helpful, you can draft your answers in a word document (see application questions here) ready to copy and paste into the online form.
We welcome applications that will do one or more of the following:
- Improve the experience of patients and their families or carers
- Enhance service delivery beyond the scope of NHS funding
- Deliver better clinical outcomes
