Since 1948,  the League of Hospital Friends (Mansfield and Sutton) have raised funds for and given support to three local hospitals: Kings Mill Hospital, Mansfield Community Hospital, and Millbrook Unit,  Sutton in Ashfield. In support of the work of these hospitals, the League’s main way of advancing health and saving lives for the aforementioned is fundraising. Fundraising takes many forms – from donations and In Memoriam collections to lunches, fashion shows, coffee mornings and quizzes. Much of their income is generated by three shops in two local towns, which offer a variety of goods including ladies’ fashions, children’s clothing, toys, china and other ceramic items, furniture, books and pictures.

This is the work of the fundraising committee and its myriads of helpers who work very hard behind the scenes to ensure that each event is such a success that future support is assured. Various items of technical medical equipment have been purchased as well as garden buildings, plants and tools for therapeutic purposes. Certain areas in the hospitals have been refurbished in order to make the ordeal of waiting less of a negative experience.
