Fundraising
With your help we can fund the extras to improve your healthcare facilities above and beyond the NHS, to make the hospital experience the best it can be for all who visit and stay there.
We can provide a range of equipment, such as the Specto Ultrasound System at £45k which will help many patients or the voice amplifier at £64, which will improve the quality of life for an individual patient.
Our overheads are minimal as we have no staff.
Your help in fundraising activities is critical. You can donate through the “donate” button or set up a fundraising inititiative to support our work.
Here are some examples of how we have raised funds.
York Walking Quiz
This walking quiz has been developed for the Friends of York Hospitals as a means of raising funds to enable our good work to continue. You can set your own pace, stop at any time for a break or shopping and pick it up again when it suits you.
Setting a Personal or Group Challenge
Rachel Martin, and Hussein Syed, set themselves individual challenges to raise funds for FOYH, setting up fundraising webpages to receive online donations.
Their efforts raised £1116.
Christmas Raffle
The Christmas Raffle in 2021 raised a massive £1323 for our funds. Many prizes were kindly donated by local businesses and supporters.
Flower Power
We have benefited by £800 from a village conservation initiative run by Mel & Stephanie Neale. They involved the villagers of Kelfield buying and scattering wild- flower seeds.
Spicing up lockdown
We benefited from an innovative way to raise funds during lockdown. Tom & Max Bell offered a curry delivery service to residents in the village of Kelfield, raising funds for a number of charities including us.
#brew4friends fundraising initiative
York cafés Rae and Webb and Partisan supported our #brew4friends fundraising initiative which involved giving small weekly donations to FOYH.
