To mark this amazing milestone, we've launched the Barts900 campaign: a series of landmark fundraising projects across heritage, health care and research which together promise to transform treatments for our east London communities.
The Barts 900 campaign brings together the ‘Barts’ family (Barts Health, Barts Charity, Barts Heritage and St Bartholomew the Great church).Throughout this extra special anniversary year, we're working closely with our partners including Barts Guild, our League of Nurses, Queen Mary University of London, the Rahere Association and our Voluntary Hospital Board.
Read about our incredible shared story or watch the Gresham Lecture exploring 900 years of history delivered earlier this year by hospital chief execuive Professor Charles Knight.
You can also visit the dedicated Barts900 campaign website, where you can hear about news, events and official Barts900 merchandise.
To mark the 900th anniversary of St Bartholomew’s Hospital, our hospital charity, Barts Charity, is looking to the future.
They are raising money for two important health projects that will help transform treatment for patients in our community and beyond.
They need your help to bring these two projects to life.
Barts Charity is raising money for a new Breast Cancer Centre that that will give patients like Nell some of best care in the world.
“Having all treatment in one dedicated place with a team of breast cancer specialists would make a traumatic experience so much more bearable. We need this new breast cancer centre here in east London, as the number of women affected by triple-negative breast cancer in the area is high. It would be a gamechanger.” - Nell, Mile End
With your support, Barts Charity can also can fund a new Clinical Research Facility right here in east London that will enable more life-changing research for people like Suresh.
“I can say, without any doubt, that my clinical trial gave me my life back. And soon, with a new Clinical Research Facility, we could transform the lives of so many more people in east London and beyond. I’d urge anyone who is able to help support this important appeal to please do so.” - Suresh, Woodford

In preparation for this special anniversary, a dedicated charity, Barts Heritage, was established to rescue and renovate the historic buildings at the heart of St Bartholomew’s, including the Grade I listed North Wing with its spectacular Great Hall and the staircase painted by William Hogarth.
Barts Heritage aims to bring the buildings back to life and back into public use whilst also providing wellbeing facilities for Barts Health staff.
After a successful fundraising appeal, works are set to begin this summer.
