Odiham Cottage Hospital Charitable Trust

Odiham Cottage Hospital is run through a unique partnership between the NHS and the community.

In 1998, a charity now known as Odiham Cottage Hospital Charitable Trust (Reg charity no: 1068721) was established to save the hospital from closure. The local community raised funds to purchase the hospital and carry out its complete modernisation.
Today, all clinical services at the hospital are provided by the NHS, whilst the charity provides financial support towards these services, the building and its facilities.
All patients are referred by the NHS, very often being cared for by their own GP.

The charity is run by a board of trustees to represent the local community’s interests at the hospital. They are Daphne Bolton (Chair), Ian MacDonald (Deputy Chair), Finlay Macdiarmid (Hon Treas), Lynne Blay, Gillian Morgan-Brown, Nick MacAndrew, Dr Delia Peppercorn, Sarah Wallis and Max Wildsmith.

Ginny East is the part-time Secretary to the trustees based at the hospital.
