Volunteers raised £250,000 for a hospital charity in the past year.

460 volunteers from St Helier and Sutton League of Friends helped raise the funds for new equipment for the two hospitals.

Having celebrated their 59th annual general meeting on May 8, the charity is looking to increase the support and services it can offer in the year leading up to their 60th anniversary.

Epsom and St Helier University Trust chief executive, Matthew Hopkins, told a League of Friends meeting: "The service you provide to our patients, whether serving cups of tea in the tea room or guiding people to the right department for their appointment, is absolutely essential to us."
