The Friends provide grants to St Mark's patients, whose financial status may be suffering from their long-term illness, as well as additional equipment to enhance their inpatient experience and recovery. For example, we provide a laundry for patients a long way from home and free Wi-Fi on the wards.
The Friends raises funds to enable us to meet requests from patients (often via staff) for help with travel and accommodation costs, or for additional equipment for the wards or patients' homes.
