Revive was set up in 1989 by a group of friends and relatives of patients treated at the Regional Intensive Care Unit.

That original group included Lady Mary Peters, who chaired the organisation for many years and continues to serve as Patron and a very active member of the Revive team.

Revive was established to assist in the care of critically ill patients by providing additional and essential funding. This funding was aimed at supporting patients, relatives and staff. Since 1989, contributions to Revive have provided over £1.5 million to the Regional Intensive Care Unit, helping to improve patient outcomes and support families and staff.

Our focus is to achieve maximum value for every penny raised and, to that end, all members of the Revive Committee are volunteers. The vast majority of all donations go directly to patient and relative care, research and additional staff training. Only a small proportion of funding is used to support administrative duties, account audits and other statutory and regulatory requirements.

The Committee is composed of volunteers from all walks of life, including relatives and staff.
