Your gift takes only a little time to arrange but the outcome will last for generations.
Whittington Health has been meeting the urgent needs of our local community for almost 500 years.
In 1473, a leprosy hospital was founded on the Whittington site, followed by a smallpox hospital on the St Mary’s site. The old smallpox Hospital became the nurses home and now houses services such as physiotherapy.
Over the centuries, further buildings were added, and in 1946 the hospitals were brought together.
With the formation of the NHS in 1948, they jointly became the Whittington Hospital and modernisations began.
In 2009, the hospital became an NHS Foundation Trust. Whittington Health Charity has an office in the Jenner Building, part of the old smallpox hospital, which is a grade II listed building.

Nancy’s story
Nancy has been bringing her son to the Whittington Hospital since his diagnosis with epilepsy when he was seven years old:
“We’ve had so much support from Whittington Health and its staff – if A&E or the wonderful Children’s Ward hadn’t been there, I don’t know how my family would have coped.
We decided to leave a residuary gift to the hospital so that in the future, more families like mine can also benefit from the hospital’s invaluable work.”
— Nancy, whose son has epilespy
