We help make hospital visits better for patients.

Calming massage therapy, trusted support advisors and friendly volunteers – we’re there every step of the way. From diagnosis to discharge, we’re making our patients’ experiences the best they can be.

Have we helped you or someone you love?

Did you receive massage therapy to help ease your pain?

The Royal Free London is the only NHS trust in the UK where all patients can benefit from massage therapy, thanks to our expert complementary therapy team. Our massage therapists help ease pain, reduce stress and bring comfort when it’s needed most. These vital services aren’t funded by the NHS. They rely on the kindness of donors like you.

Did a friendly volunteer make your hospital stay a little easier?

A kind word, a welcoming smile, a helping hand when you needed one. Our purple-shirted volunteers guide patients to their appointments, support care on the wards and provide many extra services that simply wouldn’t exist without them. Their time is freely given, but the programme relies on donations to keep going.

Did one of our advisors help when money worries overwhelmed you?

We’re the only NHS charity in the UK delivering a hospital-embedded welfare rights and benefits advice service for patients. We support patients with the non-clinical challenges that affect their health and recovery, from housing and income insecurity to stress, loneliness and social exclusion. This lifeline of support exists thanks to generous donations.
