The Friends run a trolley service which visits the wards Mon–Fri. The trolley stocks drinks, magazines, newspapers, cards, confectionery and toiletries. All proceeds support the work of the Friends.
Friends Wellness Centre
The Friends Wellness Centre—which offers hairdressing, manicure/pedicure and chair massage—is now open by appointment only on the 2nd Floor, Lift Bank D (same location as the old hairdressing salon). The centre offers a 15% discount on all services for patients and staff.
Sales
The Friends run sales in the atrium every Wednesday and Friday (Wednesday alternating between books and bric-a-brac, and books every Friday). The proceeds go directly to the Friends. The Friends also benefit from commercial traders who sell a variety of items every day at the back of the atrium between lift banks C and D.
