Why you should play
When nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers face financial hardship, the RCN Foundation is there to help. Every eligible applicant who turns to us receives a hardship grant, but limited funds mean we cannot always meet the full level of support they need.
Alongside financial assistance, we provide a holistic support service, offering guidance and signposting to trusted organisations who can help individuals rebuild stability. Your support can help us go further, ensuring those who care for us receive the support they deserve. Because behind every birth, every recovery, and every moment of care, there is a nurse or midwife and alongside them stands the RCN Foundation.
How it helps
The RCN Foundation provides financial support to nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers during times of need as well as professional development opportunities.
Each time you enter the RCN Foundation Charity Lottery, you are directly supporting nurses, midwives and healthcare support workers, and helping us continue to make a difference to those who seek our support.
