Friends of Brighton & Hove Hospitals

Welcome

Welcome to the Friends of Brighton and Hove Hospitals....one of the longest serving charities in the City.

Our main aim is to make the lives of patients more comfortable, more convenient and more personal to enhance and add value to existing services.

We work closely with our local NHS Trusts to ensure your contribution helps provide additional benefits for local patients.

The Friends Autumn Newsletter is now available to read online here.

Funding News

In 2009, £68,000 has been allocated for items requested by the NHS Trusts of our City. The Trustees are very pleased with £15,000 provided via a donation from Sussex4Sussex to purchase two integrated laparoscopes for the Digestive Diseases Unit at RSCH. Details.

A grant of £25,000 provided by the Friends in 2008 has allowed the Trevor Mann Baby Unit at the Royal Sussex County Hospital to purchase a Stephanie Ventilator. This high-specification ventilator is quiet and is much more comfortable for the very premature babies on the Ward. The ventilator is pictured below with Friends Trustees and staff from the Unit.

Brighton Marathon

Would you like to experience running in the first ever Brighton Marthon while raising funds for the Friends of Brighton & Hove Hospitals? The Marathon will take place on 18th April 2010. More information.

Mayor's Charity

The Friends are delighted to have been selected as one of the Mayoral Charities by the Mayor Cllr Ann Norman. Several fundraising events has already been held, including a Gala Dinner and a Pimms Party.
