Why donate to Braemar Charitable Trust
The Braemar Charitable Trust works to improve health equity and outcomes in the wider Midlands region through a variety of activities including free community surgeries, health sector training and professional development, scholarships, medical research and more.
While the Trust receives dividends from Braemar Hospital, its main asset, it does need community support as well to be able to move the needle on health outcomes in the region. Our region is growing and also ageing, and the Braemar Charitable Trust is looking to the future to ensure a healthy population.
Every donation received, whether small or large, helps us to achieve meaningful health outcomes and supports the quality of healthcare services delivered in the Waikato region.
Your support is vital, and can be directed towards research, scholarships, training or it can be used for the Braemar Community Surgery Programme. This is where the Trust and the Hospital work with specialists to provide free surgery to patients who have been declined or face very long wait times in the public system, don't have health insurance nor the financial means to fund private care.
Most of these surgeries are provided at Braemar Hospital, but some procedures are performed in conjunction with partner organisations in our community.
Please consider donating to the Community Surgery Programme, or even sponsoring the programme if you are an organisation wanting to support great work in our community.
If you would like to make a donation please contact Paula Baker, Manager Braemar Charitable Trust email: admin@braemartrust.co.nz or post to Braemar Charitable Trust PO Box 972, Waikato Mail Centre 3240
By donating funds to the Braemar Charitable Trust, you will be helping to invest in health related initiatives-research, innovation, education, training, prevention and support- that will make a tangible difference and concrete impact on people living in our region.

Community Surgery Programme
Surgeons and GP's can apply to the Braemar Charitable Trust to provide surgery to patients who have been declined or face very long wait times in the public system, don't have health insurance nor the financial means to fund private care. The surgeons and anaesthetists perform the surgeries free of charge, Braemar Hospital provides the theatre and facilities and Braemar Charitable Trust funds the cost of the medical supplies and theatre/hospital staff. Community surgeries are a core focus for the Braemar Charitable Trust and with demand increasing annually, we aim to carry out more each year and to enable members of our community to return to work, care for their family and returning to the activities they enjoy.
Many surgeons and anaesthetists who are credentialed to operate at Braemar Hospital are willing to perform surgeries free of charge but the Trust and Hospital must still cover many costs related to the surgical procedure.
We ask organisations and individuals to support us so we can boost the number of annual community surgeries performed, by donating directly or sponsoring a full Community Surgery day. By providing this gift, you (or your organisation) will have a direct and immediate impact and make a significant difference to the quality of life of someone living in our community. Find out more about this programme in the attached brochure.
Contributing to the Braemar Charitable Trust Scholarship Fund
Increasing capability and capacity within the health sector is another important facet in the work of the Braemar Charitable Trust. We fund scholarships for a wide range of medical practitioners and trainees, including tertiary students studying health or nursing.
By contributing to the Braemar Charitable Trust Scholarship Fund, you will be investing in current and future health care and provision not only our region, but across New Zealand.
