How You Can Help
The League of Friends is constantly requiring help and assistance and these come in a variety of ways. If you feel that you have some spare time in which you would like to help a worthwhile cause it would be much appreciated. The League are a small group of around 35 active volunteers, but we are always on the look out for more volunteers to help us to support Queens Hospital. We have recently purchased toys for the new play areas in the Orthopaedic outpatients and furniture for a rest room on Ward 4, all recently opened by Paula Clarke, Chief Executive, Queens Hospital . In 2010 we celebrate 30 years of fundraising and we aim to make it a very special year, increasing the £1.2 million we raised to date.
The recently opened shop is be an improvement on the table top sales we had previously. We stock a variety of items including our very popular donated books, C.D’s and Jigsaws. We welcome donations of books, bric a brac, jigsaws and knitted baby clothes all of which we have a demand for.
If you have any unwanted books The League of Friends hold regular book sales and would welcome any donations. Alternatively, any unwanted magazines are appreciated and used for hospital waiting rooms.
