A message from the Chair of the Friends
By the late 1980’s the NHS owned portfolio of community hospitals in Gloucestershire was struggling financially, and Tetbury Hospital was threatened with closure, putting patient care close to home under threat. Tetbury residents and the local community refused to lose such a critical asset; they raised over a million pounds to save the hospital and re-establish it as a charitable entity.
The Friends of Tetbury Hospital Trust was established in the early 1990’s to act as the fundraising arm of the hospital. His Majesty the King became is our Patron and the 12th Duke of Beaufort, whose family have been long term supporters, is our President.
Our volunteers are passionate about raising funds to purchase vital medical equipment and make improvements to the hospital building. The hospital continues to offer exceptional patient care through the NHS services it delivers to the local community and surrounding area.
There are so many ways to get involved and we would love to hear from you!
