Message from the Chair

As the new chair of NurseAid, I am pleased to welcome you to the NurseAid website. Our  overriding aim is to support student, working and retired UK nurses in financial need together with health care assistants (auxiliaries).

We are able to award single or regular grants to help nurses in crisis. Though perhaps unsurprising in the current economic climate, we are experiencing a doubling in demand in the number of applications this year.  I am happy to report however that the charity continues its invaluable work in supporting as many nurses as possible

More than a quarter of those who received a regular grant this year were living on incomes of £8,000 per year or less.  We regularly review our criteria and policies to ensure that we are able to help those nurses most in need.

We know that only the generosity and support of people like you, helping us with your donations, gifts and fundraising, prevents us from turning away nurses in need - nurses who have selflessly devoted their careers to care for others.

We believe that no-one who is, or who has ever been, a nurse should suffer hardship.

Through your support we can make that belief a reality.

Kathy George CBE RRC
Chair
