The charity will exist to review and allocate financial support to projects or endeavours that will support the health and well-being of the patients served by Primary Care 24. Examples might include (but are not limited to)  education programmes, food support or walking clubs.

The role of the Board of Trustees will include assessment of financial grant applications and reception of update reports from beneficiaries.
