The Friends organisation was set up in 1978, to support the community hospital when the first of many threats to close it down was raised.  We have so far successfully seen off several wrong-headed similar threats, and the general public locally have raised substantial funds both by donation and bequest.

We have provided many pieces of additional equipment for the hospital, and several improvements to its fabric. 

We have financed this web site, in an attempt to let people find solutions to problems such as finding support, befriending, and practical help, without recourse to repeated GP appointments.
