Why Fundraise for Mersey Care NHS Charity?
With NHS services and its workforce facing increasing challenges, we want our Mersey Care NHS Charity to support innovative projects, new facilities and developments which would not be normally within the NHS’ scope.
We want our Mersey Care NHS Charity to continue to bring to life new community projects and developments to support services users, patients and staff so that we can do more to make a difference and help people keep well and living well at home for longer.
