 Carol singers have raised over £2,000 for the Friends’ fund, which will buy amenities for patients throughout the hospital.
The Friends of the Royal Free Hospital and the Camden Choir held a Christmas Carol concert in Hampstead Parish Church on Wednesday, 17 December. The service consisted of traditional Christmas songs which saw the whole congregation singing along. Nicky Begent, chairman of the Friends, said: “We all had a wonderful evening, thanks to everybody who took part and donated.” Budgens of Belsize Park kindly donated wine and mince pies for the occasion.
