Message from The Chairman

The New Victoria Medical Foundation became a reality in March 2007, after the sale of The New Victoria Hospital in Surrey.

This new reality gave us a wonderful opportunity to do some real good in areas of our society where it was needed most. In many ways we had a blank canvass that enabled us to utilise our funds in a manner that The Trustees felt was most effective given our overall medical objectives. Our goal is to help as many people as we can now but not, by so doing, jeopardise our ability to help many more people in the future. In the current economic climate this balance is especially important.

Our charity’s objectives are very broad, but firmly medical, with the overall aim of improving lives where there is an opportunity to do so - either through medical provision or by ensuring that those young people destined to become the future generations of doctors are not thwarted by financial restrictions.

In identifying the four main donation strands, the Trustees tried to find the gaps in current provision by the State.

However, this is not to say that we’ve identified them all, and so the Foundation is willing and able to consider applications on a case by case basis which fall outside of these donation strands, e.g. research and development, capital equipment etc.

Because of the funds available to it through the sale of The New Victoria Hospital, the Foundation is in a privileged and unique position. As Chairman of the Board of Trustees, I can promise it’s donors that every penny donated will be spent on our beneficiaries, and not used for administration.

We have the ability to be creative in how we support our beneficiaries, and welcome interaction and challenges from both donors and those we assist.

To our existing supporters, I say thank you. To our prospective supporters, I ask you to contact us, learn more about us and allow us to give you the unique opportunity of making a real difference.

Thank you.

Graham Ball
Chairman
