PROJECTS FUNDED BY THE FRIENDS

In the last five years, the Friends have donated over £800,000 pounds to improve equipment and facilities at the hospital.

​

We rely heavily on income from invested legacies which, funds almost half of all projects and equipment

 

The Charity is entirely run by volunteers.

Urgent Treatment Centre - Lewes Victoria Hospital

​
 

The Friends contributed £331,000 towards the cost of developing an Urgent Treatment Centre at Lewes Victoria Hospital, which opened on Wednesday 29th April 2020. The UTC is an upgrade on the much-loved Minor Injuries Unit, and it will provide a very valuable addition to healthcare provision in our community for years to come.

​

​

The role of the UTC is to provide assessment and treatment to patients with minor illnesses and injuries that are urgent but not life threatening. It is a walk-in service, but if you contact NHS 111, they will give you an appointment to be seen by either a doctor or an urgent care practitioner.

New Conservatory For The Intermediate Care Unit 2022

 

Largely funded by the Friends, the new conservatory is providing a welcome quiet place for patients to relax and spend time with family and friends while they recuperate. It also provides staff with a much needed space to hold important multidisciplinary meetings.
