Since Dr John Addenbrooke left his original gift to establish the first voluntary hospital in Cambridge in 1766, significant donations have played a key role in the hospitals’ history.

To celebrate and continue this most honourable tradition, the 1766 Club was launched in 2010 for philanthropic and far-sighted individuals who are able to donate a personal annual gift of £1,000 or more.

Today these gifts will see ACT making a difference for patients across the hospitals where the need is greatest or most urgent. By shaping the hospitals’ future, these gifts will in time leave their own mark on history.

With thanks to all our members. Click here to see lists of 1766 Club members.
