Our promise to you

We understand that choosing to support a charity is personal. That’s why we promise to:

  • Always put you first

  • Respect your privacy and confidentiality

  • Never place pressure on you to give

  • Use donations carefully, responsibly and cost-effectively

  • Use your gifts wisely and for their intended purpose

  • Honour any wishes you have about how your donation is used

  • Be open, honest and transparent in all our fundraising activities

How we’re governed

Accountable, transparent and responsible

Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust acts as the charity’s corporate Trustee, providing strong and reliable oversight through its Charitable Funds Committee.

The committee brings together senior Trust leaders, including:

  • The Chief Finance Officer

  • The Executive Director of Strategy, Planning and Partnerships

  • Non-Executive Directors

  • The Trust Secretary

Meeting three times a year, the committee reviews our activity, governance and impact to ensure we use every donation wisely and effectively.

Supporting this work is an operational sub-committee, which manages the charity’s day-to-day activity and reports directly into the Charitable Fund Committee – helping to maintain high standards and clear accountability at every level.
