Bake sale · 5 June 2025

Friends of GRI was established in May 2020 to celebrate the rich history of Glasgow Royal Infirmary (GRI). GRI is the oldest hospital in Glasgow; it opened in 1794! Our largest, current project is a small medical museum, which will be open to the public, and will focus on the impact GRI has had on medicine worldwide. During our efforts with this, we have uncovered several items of historical interest which we hope to be able to restore in order that we can display these. The charity aims to make this history accessible to the public through the museum and a series of online (and hopefully in person eventually) events commemorating people and discoveries associated with the hospital. We also have a series of smaller projects focussing on sustainability and enhancement of the workplace environment; these include a rainbow garden and bee hives situated in a secret location on site.

Story

IBMS Biomedical Science Day is a day to honour biomedical science and recognise the laboratory professionals that contribute to the healthcare system. Glasgow Royal Infirmary Biochemistry Department is hosting a bake sale for staff to celebrate Biomedical Science Day 2025.

Proceeds from the bake sale will be donated to Friends of Glasgow Royal Infirmary (OSCR: SC050180). This charity custodians the history of our special hospital via a museum, organises cultural events and maintains ornamental gardens for staff and patients to enjoy.

The organisers hope you will enjoy the bake sale and thank you for any contributions that will help to keep this unique charity providing its valuable service.
