League of Friends of Worthing Hospitals

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.

Previous projects supported by the League of Friends include the purchase of bladder scanners.

Leaving a Legacy
