Dance the night away with your choice of two different music channels, each streamed directly to your wireless headphones. Whether you’re into classic hits, chart-toppers, or throwback anthems, there’s something for everyone. Grab your friends, don your best dancing shoes, and light up the floor!
Proceeds from the evening will go directly to the League of Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital, helping to fund essential equipment and services that ensure the best care for our community.

Pain Clinic Patient Experience
Where every patient feels supported to reclaim their quality of life
In partnership with Kingston and Richmond NHS Trust, we plan to support the patient experience elements of the ‘Pain Clinic’.
We aim to help create an environment where patients feel understood, valued, and supported throughout their pain management journey.
To fulfil this vision, we are fundraising to enhance the patient experience within the Pain Clinic.
Day Room upgrade with dementia patient ‘Magic Table’
A positive effect on inpatients and those with dementia
We are always looking for ways to improve patient’s quality of life.
That’s why we are fundraising for improvements to the Day Room for inpatients at the hospital, including introducing a ‘Magic Table’ to increase interactions and fun for dementia patients. (Image courtesy of BBC).
At The Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital, we firmly believe that a community thrives when its heart—its local hospital—remains strong and accessible.
Every individual deserves quality healthcare close to home, and every family should find comfort in the knowledge that help is just around the corner.
By supporting our local community hospital, Teddington Memorial, we are not merely funding a facility; we are nurturing a hub where lives are improved, hope is restored, and our community spirit is fostered.
Our commitment is unwavering: to uplift, support, and champion essential care for every member of our community at Teddington Memorial Hospital.
