Why Support Paintings in Hospitals?

There are many ways in which you can help Paintings in Hospitals either through your local branch or by contacting our head office. By supporting the work of Paintings in Hospitals you will be making a positive difference to the healthcare environment experienced by millions of people each year throughout the UK and Ireland.

You may like to help by contributing in one or more of the following ways:

Individual Donation to Paintings in Hospitals.  By joining the scheme as a hospital or making a donation to PiH you will be helping to build the collection for the future, giving other hospitals the opportunity to benefit from the scheme in years to come.

Don’t forget Gift Aid: If you are a UK tax payer and would like to make a donation to Paintings in Hospitals, however small, don't forget to do it by Gift Aid. This allows us to maximise your gift by claiming a further 28p for every £1.00 you give from the government. All you need to do is write to us, stating “that your donation to Paintings in Hospitals, Charity Number 1065963 is to be treated as a Gift Aid Donation”.

Become a Friend of Paintings in Hospitals. Your annual subscription of £15.00 helps to support the work of the charity as well as entitling you to a range of membership benefits.

Become an Artist-Friend of Paintings in Hospitals. If you are an artist and would like to support the charity by making a donation to our collection we would be pleased to hear from you. Please note that donations will be subject to the same selection standards and criteria as works being purchased for the collection.

Collector-Contributor.  Many private and corporate collectors find that their collection has outgrown the available space, or else they simply want a change of scene. Making a gift, bequest or long-term loan to the Paintings in Hospitals Collection is an ideal way of relocating art works that you no longer have space for.

Legacy Giving.  Paintings in Hospitals is the ideal charity to name in your will if you have an interest in art or a collection of paintings that you would like others to enjoy after your lifetime. Through the work of Paintings in Hospitals your legacy will benefit many thousands of patients, including those in palliative care. Whether you choose to give works of art or a pecuniary gift, your contribution will be equally valuable to us. Please contact us for more information.

Contribute to Your Community.  Your donation can pay for pictures for your local hospital. £1000 will pay for the hospital of your choice to have 25 works of art on loan from Paintings in Hospitals for the next two years. If desired, we can acknowledge your donation on the information panel beside each picture. If you have a CAF charity card and would like to make a donation on line please go to www.allaboutgiving.org
