About Us
- The Friends of Lydney and District Hospital is a registered charity with a role to assist in the provision of equipment and services for use by patients, staff and visitors which would otherwise be unavailable through the NHS.
- Funds are raised through events, voluntary donations from individuals, organisations, schools and companies, personal legacies, donations in memory of deceased persons in lieu of flowers, and other sources and activities.
- The charity also acts as a conduit for representation from the general public in regard to issues relating to the provision of services at the hospital, and its ongoing ability to meet the needs of the local population.
- A close relationship is maintained with both the hospital staff and the NHS Trust responsible for the management of the hospital as well as with the elected members of the local town and district councils.
