Meet our team

Welcome to the Foundation Team at St Andrew’s Hospital.

We connect our community with the hospital through volunteering, events, and philanthropy - supporting care that makes a meaningful difference for patients, families, and staff.

Our team works alongside a dedicated community of more than 140 volunteers, supports the Wellbeing Centre, and contributes to hospital communications. We also lead fundraising initiatives that help deliver major equipment, support new developments, fund joint clinical roles, and provide scholarships that strengthen care across the hospital.

Together, with our Volunteer Success Team, we help create restorative experiences and ensure St Andrew’s continues to serve the community for generations to come.
