REGISTERED CHARITY · FUNDING RESEARCH SINCE 1961

A local charity supporting health research and education across North Staffordshire.

The Wade Charitable Foundation awards grants for local medical and surgical research, supports students into healthcare careers, and runs the Wade Conference Centre for the community.

Supporting better local healthcare through research, education and community funding

We provide funds for medical and surgical research and help facilitate medical education across North Staffordshire, backed by the community that built us. Our home, the Wade Conference Centre, was Britain's first purpose-built postgraduate medical centre, and today its room hire income helps fund the next generation of research.
