Our Supporters
We are grateful for all of the support we receive from our local community. There are many ways local people and businesses can support The Friends of Conquest Hospital. For local people, support might be in the way of becoming a member of the Friends, making a donation or volunteering with us. For businesses, support might take the shape of hosting one of our collection tins, sponsoring one of our events or arranging volunteer days for their staff.
Donations & Grants
In 2024, The Magdalen & Lasher Charity kindly approved a grant towards our project to purchase two new Karl Storz Stack Systems for the Gynaecology and Colorectal Departments for use in outpatients and theatre at Conquest Hospital, replacing the existing outdated 2D equipment. We’re incredibly grateful for their support.
The Marchus Trust support projects in the fields of architecture and music. In 2024, they kindly approved a grant for our Live Music Programme at the Conquest Hospital, helping to ensure the future of this programme through the year. We’re incredibly grateful for their support.
Local charitable organisation, the Hastings Lions, have shown their support for the re-introduction of the music programme at the hospital with a generous grant towards the project. We are incredibly grateful for their support.
In 2023 we were awarded a generous grant from the Chalk Cliff Trust in order to re-introduce a programme of live music at the Conquest Hospital for the benefit of patients and staff. We’re incredibly grateful for their support.
