COVID-19 appeal Messages of support

A special 'THANK YOU' from our staff

A few of our staff on behalf of everyone at Kingston Hospital wanted to express their appreciation to those who generously donated and supported Kingston Hospital during the peak of the coronavirus crisis.

We are very grateful to the many individuals of all ages, local businesses, community groups and grant-making trusts for their generosity and acts of kindness since the lockdown was introduced in late March, and also to NHS Charities Together and Feed Our Frontline in partnership with Feed NHS and all who supported these national campaigns.
