The Friends of Savernake Hospital
and the Community
We are the Friends of Savernake Hospital and the Community (otherwise known as “the Friends”).
We are a charity set up to support individuals and organisations involved in healthcare both at Savernake Hospital and in the wider community, with the aim of enhancing the quality of life of those affected by ill health and or disability, and supporting their care and wellbeing.
Whether you want to know more about the trustees of the charity and what we do, find out about what goes on at Savernake Hospital, apply for a grant, volunteer in the shop or committee, or donate to the Friends, you are in the right place.
Take a wander through the website, and if there is anything we can help you with, please contact us.
Grants are available to support health and well-being in the local community – nearly £18,000 in 2022, over £11,000 in 2023, and over £24,000 to August 2024.
Are you a local voluntary organisation, charity or healthcare provider helping people manage ill-health or disability?
Are you looking for financial support to help purchase health-related equipment, for a health-related project or ongoing costs?
If so, why not consider contacting the Friends for a grant?
Our Hospital Shop
We have a daily weekday presence in Savernake Hospital through our fabulous little shop (including a trolley shop) staffed by volunteers. Learn more about this on our dedicated Shop page.
Do pop in and have a browse – you’ll find us in the Reception area just in front of the café.
Did you know, since January 2022, the Shop has been issuing hearing-aid batteries on behalf of the NHS? Do drop in or call hospital reception if you would like to know more.
Savernake Hospital Memories
The Friends keep an archive of Savernake Hospital’s past, and we’re continually adding to the history pages on our website following the memorable history exhibition held by us in 2009. It provides a fascinating insight into local social history.
