About us

The Ramsey District Cottage Hospital Welfare Trust is committed to ensuring that its funds are used exclusively for the benefit of the hospital, its patients, staff, and the essential services it provides. The trust operates with a focus on maximising the impact of its resources, keeping administrative costs to an absolute minimum. Only essential expenses, such as secretarial, accounting, and website maintenance, are covered, while the trustees, who oversee the trust’s activities, volunteer their time without compensation. This approach ensures that the maximum possible amount of funding goes directly toward supporting the hospital’s ongoing work and enhancing the care and services offered to the community.

Why the Ramsey Cottage Hospital Welfare Trust is a Great Charity to Support:

  • Your Donations Stay Local: Every penny you donate goes directly to supporting Ramsey Cottage Hospital, ensuring that funds are spent within the community, not dispersed into a large, off-island charity pool.
  • Volunteer run: Unlike many larger charities, the Trust is run entirely by volunteers. None of your donations go toward paying high salaries for directors or administrators. This means that your contributions are used where they’re needed most—on patient care, staff support, and enhancing hospital services.
  • Complete Transparency: We are committed to keeping donors informed. The Trust will publicise exactly how donations are spent, so you can see the direct impact of your generosity on the hospital and the community it serves.
