The Friends of York Hospitals

Welcome to the website of the Friends of York Hospitals, a registered charitable incorporated organisation which was founded in 1953 and rooted in the local community.

Our two main roles are:

Providing hospital volunteers
They help the patients and support the staff at York Hospital and two small rehabilitation hospitals for elderly patients, Nelsons Court and White Cross Court.
Raising money
We fundraise to fund specialist equipment and projects to improve the experience for patients and their families.

York & Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust value our work and provide us with an office in York Hospital.

We owe our existence to the generosity of local people – to the financial donations they make and the practical help they give.
