New JustGiving page makes donating to NHS Western Isles easier than ever

Western Isles Health Board Endowments, the official charity of NHS Western Isles, has launched a new JustGiving page to make it easier than ever for the public to support vital healthcare projects across our communities.

The Endowments fund plays a key role in enhancing patient care, improving hospital environments, and supporting the wellbeing of NHS Western Isles staff and communities. Through charitable donations, the fund provides resources and initiatives that go beyond what NHS funding alone can deliver.

In the past, generous donations have provided:

• Hospital garden projects in the Western Isles Hospital and Ospadal Uibhist agus Bharraigh.
• A dementia-friendly room in Ospadal Uibhist agus Bharraigh.
• Care boxes and memory bags for patients.

Across the Western Isles, individuals and groups continue to make a meaningful impact through fundraising and donations. Their support helps to deliver improvements that transform experiences for both patients and staff.

The new JustGiving page offers a simple and flexible way to contribute. Supporters can:

• Make a one-off donation.
• Set up regular monthly contributions by direct debit.
• Direct donations towards specific wards, services, or projects such as Dignity Bags.

For information on other ways to donate, please email wi.endowments@nhs.scot.

Fundraising efforts continue to play an essential role in improving lives throughout the islands. Members of the public are encouraged to take part by creating their own fundraising challenges and linking them to our JustGiving page.

We encourage those planning fundraising activities to share their plans with us so achievements can be celebrated and promoted across the community.

Please note if you wish to do a fundraising event for a specific piece of equipment, please contact us in advance to ensure the equipment can be accommodated within the area required, and that the equipment would pass Infection Control (and any other applicable) regulations.

Together, through generosity and community spirit, the Western Isles can continue to enhance care and make a lasting difference to local healthcare services.
