League of Friends - Charity No. 249466
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.
We also provide funding for Cake and Concert events for the elderly on a regular basis.
