What we do

We bring people together across national networks. We share knowledge and good practice. We highlight innovation and we make the case for community hospitals in the wider conversations that affect them.

Would you like to join the CHA committee? 

We are always keen to hear from members interested in joining the CHA Committee. If you care about community hospitals and want to help shape our work and strengthen the national voice for community hospitals, please email us at info@communityhospitals.net and we will be happy to share more about what is involved. 

How we are sustained

The CHA does not receive any statutory funding. No government grants, no NHS budget line. Nothing like that.

Everything we do is funded through membership, sponsorship and donations. That includes this conference.

We are a small organisation and we rely on the support of people and organisations who believe community hospitals matter. 

Governance

The CHA is governed by a Board of Directors and supported by a committee and a wider network of associate members and advisors. 

A note from the CHA committee

We would like to ask for your help.

As you know the work we do, including this conference, is funded through sponsorship, donations and organisational membership. Those income streams are small and, like everything else, our costs are rising.

We are not asking for money today. We are asking for your views.

We are exploring whether to invite members to make a small voluntary contribution each year to help us keep going and keep growing. Before we do anything, we want to know what you think.

The poll below is anonymous and takes just a few minutes. There are no right or wrong answers. We would really value hearing from you.
