Health Stars are the charity of Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust. Together we create better healthcare and brighter futures for people across East Yorkshire, Hull, and North Yorkshire.
Your donations help enhance the health care and experiences of thousands of people using mental health, neurodiversity, learning disability, children’s and young people and local NHS services every day.
We fund equipment that NHS budgets do not cover, make our buildings more attractive and therapeutic and provide the little extras that make a visit or stay in our services that little bit brighter.
We help ease the burden on families offering comfort through treatment and reducing boredom.
Your support also helps us say an extra special thank you to our incredible team, making them feel appreciated, supported and healthy at work.
