Friends' Collecting Days are held - roughly once a month - at London stations and stores with our team of volunteer collectors giving two or three hours of their time to help. See Events and Activities for collecting opportunities in the next few months. We are anxious to build on recent collecting successes and need to recruit new members for the team. Some volunteers give a couple of hours a month, many a great deal more, others perhaps only on one or two occasions a year. We will gratefully accept whatever you feel able to offer! Please contact us if you might be interested. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "FRIENDLY FOOD" Friendly Food is the theme of our exciting cookbook and tea towel.

Members come from all walks of life - patients, their relatives and friends, former patients and other well-wishers. Founded in 1963, our primary aim is to provide supplementary services and equipment for the comfort and well-being of patients and their visitors. We contribute towards buying much needed technical items for professional use in the hospital's clinics, outreach centres, operating theatres and research laboratories. We also promote and manage a wide range of volunteer work, supporting the work of the hospital and adding to the service provided. The Moorfields Eye Charity also raises funds for the hospital. However, the Friends fundraise to support their own activities and warmly welcome contributions from everyone. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TRUSTEES EMMA VEREY is Chairman of the Friends of Moorfields with PEGGY KHAW as Acting Vice Chairman and KEVIN CUSTIS Treasurer.
