The Hospital Saturday Fund is a registered charity whose aims are to provide assistance through its charitable funds for: registered health charities, hospices and medical organisations who are in need of grants for medical projects, care, research or support of medical training within the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Individuals with a medical condition or disability who would benefit from assistance with the purchase of specialised equipment or from practical forms of treatment.

Since the advent of the National Health Service the Hospital Saturday Fund has ‘tailored’ its benefits to suit modern needs. Its trading company HSF health plan is one of the leading health cash plans in the UK and Ireland and provides a wide range of health benefits to help people cover the cost of their everyday health care. HSF health plan works with over 1,300 organisations in the public, private and charity sector in providing its health cash plan schemes as an employee benefit. Unlike other forms of health insurance the schemes are very low cost (from £1.00 per week) and cover things like dental check-ups and treatment, eye tests, glasses and contact lenses, physiotherapy and osteopathy. It means people can embark on a course of treatment knowing they can always claim back at least some, if not all of the cost.

The aims and ideals of the founders have never been forgotten and we are proud that these are still very much in evidence today. All profits made by HSF health plan are channelled to its parent charity, The Hospital Saturday Fund through which grants are made to all kinds of medically-associated charities throughout the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland each year. Assistance is also given to individuals whose illness or disability has caused difficulties. In 2020, grants totalling £1.8m will be given.
