We are a separate reg. charity (No.1050015). Funds are used to improve patient experience, focusing on areas not fully supported by NHS funding. The Countess of Chester is a 600 bed hospital, serving more than 445,000 patients per year from an areas covering Western Cheshire, Ellesmere Port, Neston and North Wales. We have over 100 separate funds here at the hospital, so you can raise money for almost any area. Some of the more popular areas are our Special Care Baby Unit, A&E department and Heart Equipment Fund.

Wow we have been blown away with your support for this year's Chester Duck Race! We are now sold out of blue & yellow ducks!

We still have these lovely colours available - pink, red, black & green! If you would like to get involved please contact Emma - emma.boylan1@nhs.net

This yearโ€™s Duck race is in aid of the Extra Mile Appeal, which focuses on providing additional equipment, such as Bladder Scanners, ECG machines and Ultrasound machines for our ward areas, these items are very often shared between wards, and we would like to give a few more to help our staff and enhance patient care.

Thank you to our wonderful Duck Race sponsors Hickory's Smokehouse Chester & our raffle sponsor Admiral Taverns

Emily Ffion strikes again by providing additional equipment where it's most needed for our Community paediatric team. The much desired Vital signs machine was funded by the Emily Ffion trust and handed over to the team that go out into the community to care for their patients, enabling them to be treated in their own homes and avoid hospital admissions.

A heartfelt thanks to the Emily Ffion trust fund for their continued support of our Childrens services.
