Fundraising

City and Village Groups

The eight city and village groups are a very important source of fundraising for the League. Each year the large numbers of volunteers in the various groups run a wide range of activities to generate funds including coffee mornings, bingo sessions, bring and buy events, selling Christmas cards, fashion shows, sponsored walks, etc. In 2023, all of these events combined to generate funds for the League of £26,700.

Hospital Shops

The three hospital shops together with a daily ward trolley round generated an income for the League of £1,022,745 in 2023, equivalent to 91.3% of the total in that year. Of course, we have to take into account the cost of buying supplies, staff salaries and various other costs but even when this is done, the shops contribute significantly to the League’s funds available for spending on equipment and other gifts for the K&C Hospital.  Our shops in the main entrance and Outpatients Department have undergone major refurbishments, providing a modern, professional appearance, with additional fridges and many news lines.  The Fracture Clinic modernisation is being planned.  Why not pop in to one of our shops if you're at the hospital and try out our delicious bean to cup coffee (loyalty card available) - we think you'll be impressed!
