Welcome to the Friends of Chelsea & Westminster Hospital
The Friends are dedicated to improving the lives of patients and staff at Chelsea & Westminster and West Middlesex hospitals. We provide comfort and support where it’s needed most - offering compassionate end-of-life care, delivering Shop and Library Trollies to bed-bound patients, and running a hair salon to help boost patients' dignity and morale.
We also fund essential equipment and services to enhance the overall patient experience. Thanks to the generosity of over 30 volunteers who contribute more than 2,000 hours annually, we are able to award £100,000 in grants each year, making a real difference to the care and support available to patients, their families, and hospital staff.

End-of-Life Care
Our tranquil Butterfly Rooms offer solace and comfort, providing invaluable support for individuals in their final days.
Dedicated Butterfly Volunteers offer companionship and conversation to terminally ill patients, ensuring no one faces the end alone.
We believe in the power of human connection and the comfort it brings during difficult times.

The Friends welcome applications from hospital departments or individual staff members for projects to improve services for patients.
