Helping Lyndhurst Surgery Thrive Through Local Support
Friends of Lyndhurst Surgery (FOLS) is a charity founded in 1994, dedicated to enhancing patient care by supporting Lyndhurst Surgery. Our mission is to raise funds for vital medical equipment and foster community engagement through various events. Driven by local generosity, we ensure the surgery maintains excellent standards and serves the community with care and convenience.
Annual Lyndhurst Fundraiser
Date: 6th December 2025
Location: Lyndhurst
Celebrate community spirit with us at our Lyndhurst Surgery support event, featuring lively activities, delicious refreshments, and heartfelt testimonials. Your support enables us to enhance patient care through vital equipment and services.
The surgery does fund their own equipment we, through charitable donations, typically fund the provision of equipment etc for patient convenience rather than those that are a contractual requirement for usual practice. As well as providing and servicing equipment we have agreed to support the Lyndhurst Postnatal Support group and have agreed to fund the hire of a room for this service.
FOLS holds events throughout the year. All events are arranged to boost funds for the benefit of all patients of Lyndhurst surgery.
Thanks to the generosity of patients, along with the endeavours of the FOLS committee, to date FOLS has raised in excess of £140,000 through donations, concerts, festivals, collection boxes etc. We have recently launched our Lottery in conjunction with the New Forest Community Lottery.
The support and continued generosity of local people is the key to our success if we are to continue to enjoy Lyndhurst Surgery as one of the best-equipped surgeries in the region. Donations however large or small at any time will in turn help our Surgery and of course benefit us all.
