Supporting Cornwall healthcare innovation for the past 40 years

Welcome

It has been ten years since the Duchy Health Charity site was last designed and so much has changed in all our lives since then. In order to reach a younger audience who are used to reading their electronic mail via tablets or iPhones it has been necessary to make our information easier to access and faster to read at the same time ensuring that the protection we give our applicants and grantors remains as secure as ever. We hope you enjoy the experience and let us know if you believe we can improve this further.

Enjoy browsing!
