Support our work
Our charitable aims
The Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS England) is a registered charity, independent of the NHS. The College safeguards the experience, treatment and outcomes of the UK's surgical patients through the ongoing state-of-the-art training of our surgeons and pioneering research. We need your support for this work to continue and flourish.
RCS England relies heavily on charitable funding in all areas including surgical research, training and conservation. Legacies and gifts from grant-giving trusts, companies and individuals play a crucial role in maintaining and improving surgical care for patients.
Conserve the ‘Top 50’ items in most urgent need of care
Help preserve the past with the Conserve Our Collections appeal. Your support will help conserve the Top 50 items in need of urgent specialised care —from rare surgical manuals to striking 17th-century portraits—ensuring these invaluable historical collections remain available for the study and enjoyment of generations to come.

Keep the future in safe hands
Surgeons save, extend and improve the lives of tens of thousands of people throughout the UK every day. Our work is not limited to specific illnesses or areas of disease but supports innovative care for all ages across all specialties. Almost 5 million surgical patients are admitted to hospital every year in England alone so choosing to support the Royal College of Surgeons of England can have a direct impact on the future of surgery and patient care.
We need to invest continually in pioneering surgical research and cutting edge learning initiatives to ensure that all surgeons and the care they provide is the best in the world. Legacies and donations from charitable trusts, companies and individuals are vital in helping us shape the future so that patients receive the very best care when they need it the most.
Your support ensures we can strive for the next life-changing breakthrough and continue to improve surgical care for all.
