SLaM Charity

Charitable funds

The story of SLaM Charitable Funds began over 760 years ago

The charitable funds' history dates back as far as 1247, when former Sheriff of the City of London, Alderman Simon FitzMary, donated funds to create the Priory of St Mary of Bethlehem, which went on to become the Bethlem Hospital.

Over the centuries, the care of the hospital's poorest patients was supported by a wide range of benefactors. As times have changed, so have the projects and ideas the charity supports. The charity now also welcomes applications that promote mental health care, in addition to benefiting service users, staff members or improving services.

The charity welcomes applications from people or groups who have designed a project to promote any mental health care services. Your project should benefit service users, staff members or improve service provision.

The charity supports events which take place across the local area to mark World Mental Health Day and Black History Month, and our annual Sunfayre at Bethlem Royal Hospital.
