To maximise the impact of their funding the trustees have appointed ‘funding partners’ to work with them to deliver carefully targeted grant programmes and nurse-led iniatives. All joint programmes and projects are carefully monitored to ensure that they operate within the Trustees’ stated policy areas and achieve positive outcomes for patients, nursing and healthcare practice.
The Trust’s current partners are set out below:

C3 believes that with the right knowledge, skills and opportunities, nurses are uniquely placed to help prevent non–communicable diseases (NCDs) by promoting healthy behaviours and lifestyles. C3 uses its international expertise and extensive global nursing network to raise awareness, engage and educate the nursing community, and create opportunities for nurses to share their knowledge and expertise locally, nationally and internationally. The partnership with Burdett Trust will help C3 take forward a range of key initiatives.
