Friends of Milton Keynes Hospital & CommunityOur charity has been working in Milton Keynes Hospital since 1979, when we founded the organisation as ‘The League of Friends of Milton Keynes Hospital.’ We took on the responsibility of running the first kiosk then following on later with the shop in the hospital with the remit to channel the profits into buying medical and non-medical equipment for patients and visitors.The success of the shops and café as we have expanded has allowed us to provide enough money to fund a range of projects including wheelchairs for main reception and the A & E department, quiet rooms for the relatives of patients in oncology and A & E departments, corridor seating, A & E seating and tables, toiletry packs to SRU ward 7 ACU ward 17 and A & E and Christmas donations to all wards and departments. Our shops and are run by members of staff together with a dedicated force of volunteers, who man the ward trolleys. Whose essential support is greatly appreciated. We also organise fundraising events throughout the year, run raffles at Easter and Christmas and hold the weekly stall in the main reception. In July 1999 we changed our constitution and name to reflect changes in the NHS as the Hospital Trust and the Primary Care Trust were set up. We became “Friends of Milton Keynes Hospital & Community” and have extended our work into the community of Milton Keynes. We are always looking to welcome new members to become “Friends” as volunteers and committee members.
