The Access to Care Fund is at the core of Burrswood's donations programme. This fund, akin to a bursary, enables patients of limited financial means to come to Burrswood for treatment.
Those of you wishing to support the Access to Care Fund and other ongoing costs at Burrswood can help through direct financial donations or through making or updating your will.
The Cost of Care
Burrswood’s uniqueness lies in its blend of medicine, prayer and individual counselling. We treat the whole person – body, mind and spirit. Our dedicated staff are second to none. However, alongside commitment to individuals and to the highest standards comes cost. Seldom are we able or willing to pass on the real total cost of the care Burrswood offers to the people who need it. So we need your help.
A large proportion of our funds come from voluntary donations – we rely on help from people like you. We would be so very grateful for any gift you can offer.
Ways to give
There are a number of areas for giving and several different ways to give. Please take time to read about these and decide which would be the most appropriate for you.
General Donations
These are used to support not only our running expenses but also to provide for key areas of outreach and ministry. The cost of these elements cannot easily be met from other sources. A general donation gives Burrswood the freedom to use your gift wherever it is most needed. We try at all times to pass 10% of all gifts to the Endowment Trust (see below) to maintain it as a healthy source of long term funds. Single donations can be made in these ways:
Post
If you would like to send a donation by post, please send it with a copy
of the Donation Form.
Please do not send cash through the post.
Online

For Regular Giving, see the International Friends of Burrswood page.
Legacies
We would particularly encourage you to consider leaving
something in your will to provide a lasting legacy in the lives of those
touched by God’s love at Burrswood. Some people are also giving the Trust
gifts "In-Memoriam" as a remembrance of loved ones who have died.
To give to Burrswood in a Legacy or tell Burrswood about an existing Legacy
arrangement, please use the Legacy
Brochure Form.
Your gifts could help people like these
Anne "Please pass on to the Trustees my heartfelt thanks for enabling me to have the Care Grant which made my stay in the Hospital Wing possible."
Margaret "I am writing to thank you all very much for the care, love and support which you gave to our daughter. We are very grateful for the way in which she was especially supported during a difficult phase of her stay and the wise counsel both she and ourselves received at the time. Your understanding was such a blessing to us."
Grace, in her mid eighties, had a colostomy and hysterectomy at a London Hospital. Living on her own she needed more time to gain strength and come to terms with life after the operation. Burrswood provided an oasis of peace for her to regain her strength.
