Fundraising
The Friends raise funds with the help of many local organisations and their team of dedicated volunteers. Many local people have also been kind enough to leave the Friends a legacy in their Will. These, together with donations from grateful patients and relatives help to support the hospital's major development projects.
Projects the Friends have supported include:
- Four hearing systems
- Bladder scanner trolley
- Overbed tables for Harland Ward
- Reminiscence/ rehabilitation and interactive therapy activities system for patients with dementia
The Friends is a Registered Charity, No. 1164592.
