What We Do

Barts Guild is a continuously active charity at St Bartholomew’s Hospital. We run the shop that’s based in the atrium of the KGV Building, operate the trolley service that delivers our shop to the wards, and we give grants to support the care to patients provided by the dedicated staff at Barts.

Our activities are only possible due to the commitment of our volunteers, many of whom have been with the Guild for at least a decade, and the support from our members and donors.

We have established a relationship with the Barts and The London Students’ Association (BLSA) and welcomed students studying medicine and dentistry at Barts as members of the Guild. In addition, thanks to the generous donation of the Wainwright family, in memory of Dr Laurence Cartledge, we were able to establish the Barts Guild Elective Grants.

As the Guild has done for over 110 years, we will continue our service to St Bartholomew’s Hospital by providing practical and financial support to the staff, patients and their relatives of this wonderful historical institution in the heart of London.
