Where Your Donation Makes a Difference
Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity supports a variety of funds throughout the hospital, across every ward and department; refurbishing facilities, funding vital research, and purchasing new equipment to help maintain the high standards of care delivered by staff across the hospital.
Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity is so grateful to our amazing donors and fundraisers for helping us support our patients, their families and staff and ultimately save lives.
We pride ourselves on being able to offer our supporters the ability to specify a ward or department that they wish to fundraise for, as well as supporting the hospital as a whole.

QE Cancer
With one in two people diagnosed with cancer every two minutes in the UK, we want to do all we can to help the patients treated at the QE.
We are a centre of excellence for cancer care in the West Midlands and currently see thousands of patients. We want to do all we can to help those children and adults who are treated at our hospitals and in the community as they face one of the toughest challenges in their lives.
Edmonds Transplant Centre Birmingham
Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity has funded the £4.1 million Edmonds Transplant Centre Birmingham.
It is a national centre of excellence for organ transplantation in Birmingham, putting patient care at the forefront of transplantation and a “one-stop shop” for patients undergoing organ transplants.
The Centre brings all the specialist care to patients, including pre-transplant consultations, additional fitness classes before surgery, patient support groups, and rehabilitation classes after surgery.
Fisher House
Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham is the receiving hospital for injured military personnel from home and abroad.
Fisher House UK was built to support those military patients and their families when they need us most.
The 18-bedroom home, offers injured military personnel and their family a free home away from home so they can be close to their loved ones while they're being treated at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
Guardian
In 2013, Fisher House was opened by King Charles, the then Prince of Wales. It's an 18-bedroom Home away from Home for military patients and their families to use whilst their loved one is being treated just a few minutes walk away at the hospital. Guests have described the house as a source of immense comfort, feeling embraced by a supportive community that "takes away all their problems."
Pioneering
QEHB has the largest solid organ transplantation programme in Europe. It has the largest renal transplant programme in the United Kingdom and is a national specialist centre for liver, heart and lung transplantation, as well as cancer studies. We funded the £4.2 million Edmonds Transplant Centre Birmingham at the hospital, allowing patients to visit just one area of the hospital, bringing all the specialist care to them, including pre-transplant consultations, and additional fitness classes before surgery - this has been proven to increase the likelihood of a successful transplant, patient support groups, and rehabilitation classes after surgery.
