Welcome to BHSF Medical and Welfare Charity

The BHSF Medical and Welfare Charity is a grant-making organisation, committed to advancing medical research, improving medical science, and supporting individuals who are sick or disadvantaged. Our primary focus is to provide grants which contribute to the enhancement of medicine, with a particular emphasis on funding medical research and supplying essential medical equipment to those in need in order to improve their quality of life.

A Legacy of Giving

Founded in 1972, the BHSF Medical and Welfare Charity was initiated when the then Executive Council of BHSF decided to set aside £573 3s 3d to form a charitable organisation. Trustees were appointed, and the charity’s objectives were carefully established to guide its work. Since its inception, the charity has remained dedicated to its core objectives, evolving with the changing needs of medical science and welfare, while staying true to its foundational purpose. While the charity was set up as a separate entity, BHSF continued to donate to the charity and it has always been guided by a shared ethos of care and a desire to make a difference. To date, we have donated significant amounts to worthy causes, funding critical medical research and providing support for individuals in need of medical assistance. This legacy of giving has had a lasting impact on countless lives, and we are proud of the difference we continue to make. With more than 50 years of impact, we are committed to continuing our mission, ensuring that every penny donated goes towards making a real difference.
