About King’s College Hospital Charity

All monies raised through the Justgiving site will go to our Community Appeal.

 

In 2005 that is the Silver Lining Appeal, which is a community initiative to help raise £400,000 to purchase equipment for the children’s hospital.

 

The Variety Club Children’s Hospital at King’s College Hospital opened in 1985 supported by a generous donation from the Variety Club of Great Britain.

 

King’s Children’s Services are nationally renowned, serving families not only from the south east of London, but from all over the country and beyond.
