Helping Lyndhurst Surgery Thrive Through Local Support
Friends of Lyndhurst Surgery is dedicated to enhancing patient care by raising funds and engaging the community. Founded in 1994, we focus on supporting the surgery’s equipment needs and hosting events that bring people together to ensure continued excellence in local healthcare.
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.
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.
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.
