Hospital charity, CW+ launches 'buy a brick' fundraising campaign

CW+, the official charity of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS FT fundraising campaign has launched, inviting the community to support the development of the Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre (ADC) at West Middlesex University Hospital.

The Hospital Next Door campaign, led by hospital charity CW+, is aiming to raise £1.5m to enhance the NHS-funded facility with vital equipment – including a cutting-edge cardiac MRI scanner – and create modern, patient-friendly spaces.

At the heart of the campaign is the ‘buy a brick’ initiative. Our local community members, patients and staff can make a donation and add their name and message to a virtual wall on the charity’s website, celebrating community backing for the project. Every brick will help fund the technology and enhancements that will ensure the new centre meets the highest standards of care and patient experience.

The ADC, due to open in autumn 2026, will be a game-changer for local healthcare, providing:

• 57% more diagnostic and treatment procedures each year – almost 85,000 in total
• Faster, more accurate results for conditions including cancer and heart disease
• Best-in-class cardiac imaging – vital in Hounslow where heart failure admission rates are the highest in England
• A greatly improved environment for patients undergoing oncology, haematology and kidney dialysis treatment
