NHS Forth Valley – Friends of Forth Valley Royal

What are Friends?

‘Friends’ are voluntary groups of local residents who dedicate their time, energy and effort to raising funds for the benefit of hospitals and patients throughout Forth Valley.

They also promote interest in the hospitals and provide a link between them and the communities they serve.
