Denise Coates Foundation Donates £10M to UHNM Charity

Denise Coates, CEO of Bet365, has donated £10 million (€11 million) to the University Hospitals of North Midlands charity (UHNM) through her charity foundation named “Denise Coates Foundation.”

The funds will be used to support the UHNM during the Coronavirus outbreak and will be used to enhance patient care and provide support to staff at Royal Stoke and County Hospital.

“We are extremely grateful to the Denise Coates Foundation for this significant grant to support our staff and patients during Covid-19 and beyond. As a result of Covid we have rapidly established new ways of working but in some circumstances are lacking the technology to do this in the most effective way. This investment will help fund schemes and provide latest technology to improve communications between clinicians; between clinicians and patients and between patients and their families,” Tracy Bullock, chief executive of UHNM, said.

“Covid-19 is also affecting our local communities and this significant investment will also be used for initiatives with our partners in the community, mental health and social care to support them to support us,” Tracy Bullock added.
