The Association of NHS Charities, operating as NHS Charities Together, is a federation of over 250 charitable organisations that support the devolved National Health Service (NHS), their staff, volunteers and patients, in the United Kingdom. It acts as a collective voice for NHS charities, as well as coordinating national fundraising efforts.[3][4][5][6]
The charity achieved increased prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, when 99-year old Captain Tom Moore raised over £30 million for it, by walking laps of his garden, and releasing a single with Michael Ball, which went to number one in the UK charts.[7][8]
In December 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge became joint patrons of the organisation.[9]
