Built for Friends of Hospital and League of Friends charities
Friends of Hospital and League of Friends charities have a long tradition of supporting patients, staff, and hospital communities. Many were founded decades ago and are sustained by local volunteers, strong community trust, and a shared commitment to improving hospital life.
Much of that work still relies on events, collections and in-person fundraising. But many donations happen outside those moments — after a hospital visit, a conversation with staff, or hearing about a new project.
A clear online donation page gives supporters somewhere to go in those moments, making it easier for people to give when they feel motivated to help.
We analysed Charity Commission data for Friends of Hospital and League of Friends charities and found a consistent pattern: groups reporting a website tend to raise more overall and are more likely to be Gift Aid registered.
How Friends of Hospital groups use Fundraisy
Friends of Hospital and League of Friends charities use Fundraisy in different ways depending on their hospital community and fundraising approach. Many start with a simple donation page and expand from there if they find it useful.
- General hospital support — provide one clear place for patients, families and supporters to donate at any time.
- Appeals for equipment or facilities — raise funds for ward equipment, patient comfort items, or hospital improvement projects.
- Newsletter or social media appeals — give supporters a clear link to donate when they read about your work.
- Community fundraising events — share a QR code or donation link at events, talks, or local activities.
Some groups use Fundraisy simply as a donation page, while others use it alongside community events and fundraising campaigns throughout the year.
