Hospital fundraisers ‘only gave 10pc of donations to NHS’

The Fundraising Regulator has found that Hospitals Charity, which claimed to raise funds for local hospitals, donated only 10% of its fund to NHS services. The charity breached the code of practice in 11 different ways, including false claims about the destination of donations. Of the over £223,000 collected from September 2019 to August 2022, £105,000 was spent on generating funds while only £22,240 was given to NHS services.
