The League of Friends of University Hospital Southampton

Providing Equipment

One of the main functions of the League of Friends is to provide some of the extra comforts or equipment that the NHS doesn’t. For example, most years the League helps to fund the Hospital Radio service, as well as providing money for flowers for the Chaplaincy.
