ECHO Charity
ECHO is East Cheshire NHS Trust Charitable Fund, the official charity of East Cheshire NHS Trust. ECHO raises money for not only Macclesfield District General Hospital (MDGH), but also Knutsford Community Hospital, Congleton War Memorial Hospital and all our community services.
Although NHS hospitals are funded by the government, ECHO helps East Cheshire NHS Trust go the extra mile. We aim to provide high quality care and be a brilliant place to work. We achieve this through research, training, enhanced facilities and cutting-edge medical equipment over and above what the NHS funds.
To keep up to date with ECHO follow us on social media @ECHOnhscharity.
Christmas 
This Christmas we’re asking our local community to help us spread some festive cheer by making a donation to ECHO charity. You could donate the cost of a present, fundraise at work, compete to see who has the best festive knit with our Christmas Jumper Day event or donate in lieu of Christmas cards…the opportunities are endless!
Instead of donating physical gifts such as toys and chocolates to our patients and staff, please consider making a virtual donation. You can choose to support any of our hospitals, wards or departments, just let us know when you make your donation.
To find out more about Christmas at ECHO please visit our Christmas Fundraising page.
