St Bartholomew's Hospital, in the City of London, is now a specialist heart and cancer centre and part of east London's Barts Health NHS Trust.
St Bartholomew’s Hospital is 900 years old in 2023 with our official birthday (or Foundation Day) taking place on Saturday 25 March.
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.
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.
