With aims to foster a link between hospital and community, the Charity encourages voluntary work within the hospital, managing and staffing three hospital shops, as well as the ward trolley service which goes out weekday afternoons and the Sandwich Trolley that provides a morning lunch service to staff around the hospital 365 days a year. Volunteers are vital to the success of our work and it is thanks to their loyalty and dedication that we have achieved so much since we formed in 1948.
We hold regular events including an Open Gardens programme in the summer, coffee mornings, a Tennis Tournament, a Cream Tea and Summer Fair, an Art Exhibition and lots more - all helping to boost the income generated for the hospital.
Recycling also brings in funds and we collect used stamps, postcards, ink cartridges and bottle tops. Donations can be brought into the Friends Shop in the main foyer of the Eastbourne DGH. Please see our website for a full list of what we collect at: www.friendsdgh.org.uk/how-can-i-help/we-collect
