Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charitable Foundation is changing its name to Guy’s and St 
Thomas’ Charity 
Since 1999 the charity, the largest NHS charity, has made grants
of nearly £8 million to help enhance existing services, develop new approaches to
healthcare and support research into medical science.

The charity was formed from the merger of the Special Trustees of Guy’s Hospital
and the Special Trustees for St Thomas’ Hospital. The charity can trace its roots
back to the 12th century when St Thomas’ Hospital was founded.
