Preparations are well underway for the League of Friends summer fayre which aims to raise funds to support patient activities for people using NHS services including mental health services, learning disabilities services and children’s services. 
The Kingsway Summer Fayre, which is organised by the League of Friends charity who voluntarily support the work of Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, will return this year on Saturday 1 July from 1pm – 4.30pm at the Kingsway Hospital site, Derby DE22 3LZ.
There will be a wealth of events and attractions including a live auction, a children’s magic show, bouncy castle, games, stalls, music and much more.
The League of Friends is a charitable organisation, run by volunteers, that supports the work of Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. All the money that the group raises is reinvested back into patient care across the county.
Mark Powell, Chief Executive at Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting the summer fayre again to support the League of Friends charity and all the amazing things they do.
“I am looking forward to attending the event and hope it is as well attended as it has been in previous years.
“The money raised from the event, as in previous years, will be used by the League of Friends to help pay for patient activities and materials – things that will brighten the days of people in our care. If it sounds like something you’d like to be apart of, come and join in on the fun this Saturday!”
Entry to the Kingsway Summer Fayre and parking, as always, are free and everyone is invited to attend. Access to the Kingsway Hospital site is via the Kingsway roundabout, taking the Kingsway Boulevard turning for the Manor Kingsway housing development and then turning right onto Cherry Tree Close.
