We’ve recently received an update from the Organ Donation team at University Hospitals Plymouth, who told us how valuable the ICU Secret Garden has been for their work.

On Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th September, more than 120 abseiling superheroes took on the Derriford Abseil, raising over £40,000 for Plymouth hospitals.

We were delighted to welcome the Partnerships and Philanthropy team from NHS Charities Together to Derriford Hospital, where they experienced first-hand the lasting impact of their support on our patients, staff and community.

We’re excited to announce that our brand-new Charity Hub at Derriford Hospital has been officially opened today — a vibrant and welcoming space where we can connect with patients, visitors, and staff, and share the difference your support makes every single day.

We recently celebrated the first NHS Blue Wave on 11 May 2025 at the Plymouth Half Marathon. UHP staff ran alongside their colleagues and families, as well as thankful patients and supporters, to celebrate our local NHS.  

Plymouth Hospital Charity is thrilled to announce that University Hospitals Plymouth's Derriford ICU Secret Garden has won the coveted Patient Experience Network National Award (PENNA) for 2024.

On the 14th & 15th of September, 170 brave PHC fundraisers tipped their toes off the edge of level 13 and abseiled six floors down, landing above Marks & Spencers.
