Our Charity
Our Torbay and South Devon NHS Charity exists to enhance the care we provide across Torbay and South Devon, going above and beyond what NHS funding alone can achieve. In 2026 our Charity will be celebrating its 30th birthday!
From funding specialist equipment and improving patient environments to supporting staff wellbeing and training, every donation makes a difference.
As a member of our team, you can get involved by fundraising, volunteering, or simply spreading the word. Whether you run a marathon, organise a bake sale, or support a ward or community initiative, your efforts help us deliver even better care for our communities.
To find out more or get involved, visit our Torbay and South Devon Charity website.
- Join our staff lottery: Open to all substantive staff, our staff lottery offers monthly cash prizes and raises funds to support staff wellbeing. Every entry helps fund initiatives like outdoor seating, team-building activities, and relaxation sessions
- Become a Staff Fundraiser: Whether you take part in events like the Inflatable 5k or the Great West Run, or organise your own initiative, your efforts directly support better care for patients and wellbeing for staff
- Apply for a ‘Helping to Make Things Better’ Grant: These grants fund projects that go above and beyond core NHS provision—enhancing patient care and staff wellbeing. From artwork in waiting rooms to training for wellbeing mentors, your ideas can make a real impact. There are two rounds of grant giving held each year and you’ll be able to find out more about these on the Charity pages on ICON and in ICONews.
