Welcome to the Friends of King’s College Hospital

The Friends of King's College Hospital is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of patients and staff at King’s College Hospital (Denmark Hill). We operate the only non-food & beverage shop at Denmark Hill which is open for the whole of the hospital community seven days a week. With the surplus we provide extra comforts and amenities, including this device charger, to enhance patient experience and staff wellbeing through our various grant schemes. Through the Kingfishers Sub-Committee we also fund comforts and amenities for the children's facilities.

Thanks to the amazing generosity of our donors and volunteers the Friends make a real difference to the care and support available to patients, their families, and hospital staff.
