The Friends of Tetbury Hospital runs many fund raising events each year, all locally based.
They are publicised in the Tetbury Advertiser and on the Friends page of the hospital’s website (tetburyhospital.co.uk/friends).
Tetbury Hospital Trust is a charity established in 1991 which receives payment from the NHS for patient treatments though not for new or replacement equipment.
The Hospital’s survival depends on local fund-raising and the generosity of local people.
In addition, local people donate money through their wills and over recent years income from legacies has grown.
Since the recent NHS re-organisation, the Hospital serves both Gloucestershire and Wiltshire with more than 20 consultants from both counties holding regular clinics there.
If you would like to send along a reporter/photographer to the event please contact Jeremy Hill at jeremy@vinotopiawine.co.uk or on 01666 502262.
The Friends of Tetbury Hospital Editorial contact is Nicky Gordon who can be contacted on 07734 968749 or at nic@gordonassociates.co.uk.
NB Nicky is on annual leave from June 25, until the end of July so all enquiries re the Boules competition should go to Jeremy Hill during that time!
