Investing in Paddington as a hub for life sciences sector

Thanks to your generous support, we're working in partnership with our hospitals to drive forward an exciting plan that will see Paddington become a major hub for the 'life sciences' sector.

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is aiming to develop new partnerships in the life sciences industry, attracting investment and innovation in the area around St Mary's Hospital.

The commitment to life sciences is a key part of the Trust's planned redevelopment of St Mary's, which will create an extra 1.5 million square feet of commercial and lab space for life sciences businesses alongside a new and improved hospital.

In the long term, the project will help the Trust provide improved health and wellbeing for people living in north west London.

Your donations have enabled us to support the project by awarding a £10,000 grant, which has helped to fund a new 'digital collaboration' space in nearby Sheldon Square.

As a home for the Imperial Biomedical Research Centre's growing digital health team, the building will provide a dedicated space for lectures, training, events and meetings, supporting efforts to boost community health beyond the hospital walls.
