Our Vision

To be recognised as a trusted community partner that helps improve health and wellbeing through collaboration, strategic investment, and measurable impact, whilst keeping Teddington Memorial Hospital at the heart of everything we do.

Our Philosophy

The League of Friends exists not simply to fund worthwhile requests.
We exist to create lasting value for our community.
We believe charitable funds should do more than purchase equipment. They should enable ideas, strengthen partnerships, improve patient experience, support innovation and contribute to healthier communities.
We therefore seek opportunities where our investment can make the greatest
difference, complement NHS provision and create benefits that would not otherwise be realised.
