You could make a difference as a trustee. We're looking for people who want to use their skills, experience and enthusiasm to make a real difference to their local community.

Could becoming a trustee be your next opportunity to get involved?

Being a trustee is a rewarding way to support a charity you care about while helping to shape its future.

We have a long history of supporting patients, staff and services at Teddington Memorial Hospital. Through fundraising, volunteering and community partnerships, we help provide essential equipment, improve facilities and support projects that enhance patient care and wellbeing.

As the League continues to develop its role as a strategic community health partner, we are looking to strengthen our Board of Trustees with people who can bring new ideas, skills and perspectives.

The event brings together local charities and people interested in becoming trustees, providing an opportunity to learn more about what trustees do, the skills charities are looking for and the difference you can make.

It is also an excellent opportunity to meet organisations looking for new trustees and discover whether becoming a trustee could be right for you.

Come along, ask questions, meet local charities and explore the opportunities available.

Please share your views on care and support for people with serious mental illness.

The NHS, health and care partners are working to develop how care and support for people with serious mental illness (SMI) should be organised and delivered around a person, including who provides support, where, and how different parts of the system work together to meet their needs.

NHS South West London ICB are looking for feedback and involvement from our community, voluntary, and faith sector organisations.

Please complete this feedback form https://buff.ly/5YZRZpU to share your feedback and let SWL NHS know if you would like to be involved further by attending some upcoming workshops on 14 October and/or 28 October.

For organisations with a turnover of less than £100k SWL NHS are able to renumerate your time at the workshops. Please note an expression of interest does not guarantee payment for attendance as we need to consider the number of requests we may receive.

If you have any questions please email: [email protected]

SWL NHS would appreciate responses by Monday 12 October to ensure your feedback and views are incorporated in to our workshops.

Award winning! 👏

We’re delighted to share some wonderful news from the Health and Social Care Centre at Teddington Memorial Hospital. The Woodland Suite, home to the hospital’s outpatient pain clinic, part-funded by The League, has been named the winner of the Healthcare category at the UK Fit Out Awards.

The project was designed by Studio4 Architecture, whose thoughtful approach combined Bushy Park nature-inspired graphics, carefully selected furniture and finishes to create a more comfortable and reassuring setting for patients.

Innovative external ventilation was also introduced to overcome structural challenges within the existing building.

We would like to offer our congratulations to Studio4 Architecture, the clinical user group and everyone involved in bringing the Woodland Suite to life.

It really was a team effort, and an award-winning one!

Connecting, collaborating and supporting our local community

Last night, we were delighted to represent The League of Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital at Richmond Council’s VCS Networking Event.

It was a fantastic opportunity to meet organisations, Councillors and Council Officers from across the borough, share what we do and hear about the amazing work taking place in our local voluntary and community sector.

As the League continues to develop its role as a strategic community health partner, building strong relationships and working collaboratively with others is more important than ever.

We were proud to showcase how, through our supporters, fundraising and partnerships, we help fund equipment, services and projects that make a real difference to patients, staff and the wider community around Teddington Memorial Hospital.

A big thank you to Richmond Council and Richmond CVS for bringing so many organisations together and creating such a valuable opportunity to connect, exchange ideas and explore ways we can work together.

Here’s to stronger partnerships and an even stronger local communit.
