Our services bolster the care and treatment patients receive from the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust (Royal Free London).

By putting your hands up for your hospital, you can help us to deliver vital services that support the 12,000 members of staff and the 1.6 million patients they care for across our hospitals. 

Many hands make light work. By supporting our charity, you’ll be lending a hand to make a huge difference to your local hospital. 

Start your fundraising

There are lots of ways to put your hands up for your hospital. You can: 

  • handmake: get crafty and sell what you’ve made 
  • hand in: donate money you’d usually spend on take-away coffees 
  • hands on: take on a sponsored physical challenge 

Your support will make a huge difference. 

Why you should put your Hands Up! for your hospital

Our services directly improve the experience of patients and staff across our hospitals, but we can’t deliver them without your support. 

  • Our support hub helps patients with long-term health conditions so that they can receive practical support, such as housing, financial and benefits advice. 
  • Our complementary therapy service (CTS) team provide specialised therapeutic massage to patients and staff. 
  • We deliver one of the NHS’s largest and most advanced volunteering services. Our dedicated volunteers offer companionship to patients with dementia, help with mealtimes on wards, direct patients to their appointments and much more.
