In this section of the site you will find information about our current project appeal and news of our progress. You’ll also find details of past projects, such as the Smile4Rich Ambulance Appeal and the Paediatric Video-Telemetry Appeal. You'll also learn about research into neurological conditions, at both the Wessex Neurological Centre and Southampton University’s School of Medicine, that has been or is being funded by the charity. In addition, we outline some of the possible options and aspirations for future fundraising projects that we are considering.
Of course, the final choices as to which projects to adopt are not taken lightly, and involve extensive consultation with management and staff at the WNC, as well as careful consideration by our board of trustees. Where appropriate, we also consult patients and their relatives. However, our objective will always be to support projects that will provide significant improvement to the range of treatments, quality of care, and/or the quality of facilities offered to patients and their relatives.
In addition to our major appeal projects, such as the current Fluorescence Enhanced Neurosurgery Appeal, the Wessex Neurological Centre Trust (WNCT) continually evaluates other opportunities to promote excellence & innovation in neurological care and research. From time to time, smaller projects are identified for which it is desirable for the charity to give its financial support. Such projects may include provision of new equipment for a very specific need, or involve funding important research into neurological conditions and their treatment. In order to provide funding for such projects, the trustees of the WNCT have agreed to 'set aside' up to 10% of funds raised by our major public appeals for this purpose. Details of the projects we fund through this set aside will be provided on the appeal web site.
