The Third Sector Awards provide an opportunity for voluntary organisations of all sizes, and the people who work for them, to celebrate their work and the real difference they make to society. This year we are immensely proud to be shortlisted in four categories. 

Volunteers play a vital role in improving the experience of patients and relieving pressure on frontline staff, and it's with tremendous pride that King's College Hospital Charity continues funding the King’s Volunteer Programme. 

To mark Thank You Week, supporters of King's College Hospital Charity have rallied to create a special rendition of Michael Rosen's iconic poem, ‘These are the Hands’, dedicated to #TeamKings. 

“I can’t thank King’s enough for treating my cancer and giving me a future. That’s why we are doing the Great Hospital Hike – to celebrate our survival; to thank the people that treated us; and to acknowledge the common thread that binds us all together.”

Rose McGuire is a Senior IV Nurse Practitioner at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH). Her in-depth knowledge of vascular access, patient care and need, coupled with charitable support, is helping to improve patient lives and experiences daily.

"By raising money for King's, we would like to make a small contribution to ensuring that children from across the UK, Europe and further afield can benefit from world-leading liver care at King's.”
