Our mission

The Charity is a catalyst for health and healthcare improvement in Lambeth and Southwark. It supports innovation in order to create world-leading healthcare in Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust; to improve the physical and mental health of the local population; and to fulfil the vision of King's Health Partners.

Our new mission confirms our strategic alignment with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS. Foundation Trust, our historic partner and principal beneficiary. It also signals our desire to act as a catalyst for health and healthcare innovation and improvement in Lambeth and Southwark. We also work with King's Health Partners in its ambition for excellent teaching and clinical care, underpinned by world class research.

The Charity:

  • Acts in ways that are clearly above and beyond core NHS or statutory activities
  • Deploys its finance and other assets to effect lasting change
  • Makes one-off interventions and seeks impact 'at scale'
  • Requires innovation in all that it supports
