Cardiothoracic research unit

Thanks to the efforts of fundraisers and generosity of the local community there will be a new home for heart research on Teesside, just as Teesside’s heart unit is celebrating a milestone anniversary after 30 years of delivering state-of-the-art care to patients with cardiovascular disease across the region and beyond.

As well as general fundraising activities taking place across all our hospital sites, we regularly have specific appeals that we look for your help and support with.

Our Hospitals Charity and South Cleveland Heart Fund announced ambitious plans to raise £650,000 in March 2022 to bring first class cardiovascular research facilities to Teesside.

The charities worked together on Hearts and Minds, a joint appeal to fund the creation of a cardiothoracic research unit at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.

With help from staff and patients, their fundraising goal has now been exceeded and work is underway to transform existing space at the hospital into a leading-edge facility.

This will include the creation of a dedicated clinical setting for patients in research trials as well as a reception, patient waiting area, new office space and a meeting room.

Renal day unit

The James Cook University Hospital’s aging renal day unit has now been transformed into a modern, purpose-built centre just 11 months after a major fundraising appeal was launched.

Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, our patients and everyone who took part in our fundraising campaign in the local community, we smashed our £500,000 target and now have a first class facility to deliver kidney care.

This was despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 and we are so grateful to everyone for their efforts.
