Our Nominated Charity for 2026
League of Friends of the Kent & Canterbury Hospital
The League of Friends of the Kent & Canterbury Hospital have been supporting the patients, staff, visitors and the NHS for 72 years. During this time, they have raised over £9 million which has funded much-needed equipment such as MRI scanners and improved the facilities with the new Surgical Admissions Lounge and improved staff rooms to name just two projects. In 2025 they pledged £340k for more vital equipment.

They have recently launched their East Kent Cancer Radiotherapy Appeal - they are aiming to raise £800,000 to implement Surface Guided Radiotherapy Technology which is an advanced localisation technique that allows treatment to be accurate, more comfortable and faster, enabling more patients to be processed and a wider range of cancers to be treated locally. They received a legacy of £400,000 which launched the appeal and they have raised another £120k to date. The appeal will continue until they reach their target of £800,000.
