In the charity's own words
The charity funds must be used to enhance the services that Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides. The funds must benefit patients, carers, communities and our staff that care for them. This could include supporting better care, wellbeing and recovery, improving the environments where care is delivered, research, training and activities for patients and carers.
