Governance

The governance of the Friends of King’s College Hospital is overseen by a Committee who are all Trustees of the Charity. The Committee is responsible for setting the Friends' strategic direction, ensuring financial accountability, and maintaining compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.  We also have an ex officio Committee member, Patricia Mecinska, who is not a Trustee, but is an invaluable link between the Friends and the Trust.

 

Together, we ensure that all funds raised are used effectively to enhance patient care and support the hospital community.

 

​Our work is funded entirely through donations, legacies, subscriptions, and income from the hospital shop.

 

We do not receive government funding and rely on the generosity of our supporters to carry out our vital services. Thanks to the ongoing commitment of our volunteers and donors, we are able to make a real difference in the lives of patients, their families, and the staff at King’s College Hospital.​​
