Supporting mental health and wellbeing for all
Our mission and who we are
We are the official charity of Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, or SABP often for short.
We exist to make the biggest impact on the mental health, physical health and wellbeing of the 63,000 people we treat each year across Surrey and Hampshire.
Why your donations matter
While the NHS supports our core work, growing demand for services means we need to do more.
This is where our charity comes in, your donations help us fund special projects that make a real difference to the people who need us, their families and the colleagues who treat them; provide state-of-the-art equipment for diagnosis and treatment; conduct pioneering research and help us improve our environments to enhance healing and recovery for patients, families, visitors and staff.
From early intervention and support for the transition to adolescence to delivering the best life-long care and looking after those with dementia, we transform lives and provide care every step of the way.
Together, we can support better mental health for us all.

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Charity is a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1126477
Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Charity has received funding from The John Ede Trust to support a project aimed at improving access to life-saving cancer screening for people with learning disabilities.
The funding has enabled the Trust’s Learning Disability Liaison Team to purchase specialist education tools including breast self-check training kits and screening education resources - to help people with learning disabilities better understand breast checks and cervical smear screenings.
Evidence from the Learning from Lives and Deaths - people with a learning disability and autistic people review (LeDeR) shows that people with learning disabilities experience significant health inequalities and are more likely to receive later cancer diagnoses. Barriers such as fear, inaccessible information and services not always making reasonable adjustments can prevent people from
attending routine screening appointments.
These new resources will allow staff to provide practical, hands-on education sessions in community settings, reducing A&E attendances and helping individuals feel more confident and informed about what to expect from screening.
By making these important health checks easier to understand and less intimidating, the project aims to improve screening uptake, support earlier diagnosis and ultimately reduce avoidable health inequalities.
The charity is grateful to The John Ede Trust for supporting this work and helping ensure people with learning disabilities receive the same opportunities for early diagnosis and treatment as everyone else.
