Friends of Caterham Dene Hospital charity

The Friends of Caterham Dene Hospital became a registered charity in 1948, following the formation of the NHS, aiming to provide additional funds for equipment and help improve facilities at the hospital.

The Friends of Caterham Dene Hospital support the hospital on a daily basis providing newspapers, slippers, socks and toiletries, equipment for the physiotherapy departments and hand creams for staff.

With a loyal membership base of over 500, they hold many fundraising events throughout the year, as well as receiving Gift Aid Tax, bequests, and donations instead of funeral flowers. A shop within Caterham Dene Hospital is manned by volunteers throughout the week, selling many craft items and donated gifts.

They are always looking for volunteers to help with fundraising. If you'd be interested in joining the charity to help develop facilities at Caterham Dene Hospital, you can join for a small membership fee of £10 per year.
