Ride London-Surrey100 is one of the highlights of the annula cycling calendar when some 25,000 amateur cyclists take to the road and pedal through London and Surrey on a 100 mile route, similar to that of the London 2012 Olympic road races.
We have FOUR places up for grabs for rides interested in raising funds for the Friends of The Royal Marden, Chelsea Garden CompetitionThe Friends are delighted to have been awarded 2nd place in the Small Gardens category of The London Hospitals Garden Competition 2018. The prize was awarded for showing a pride in London by the cultivation of flowers and shrubs. Thanks must go to Marie Stacey, our Chairman and horticulturist extraordinaire, who tirelessly plants and tends to the garden as well as all the pots and planters around the hospital. The garden is a source of great joy and comfort not only to patients but to their families and friends as well as staff in the hospital.

Cafe kitchen refurbishment
The Cafe refurbishment, is now complete and thanks to the generosity of Howdens Joinery, the Friends now have a brand new, shiny, super efficient, hygienic and well designed kitchen. Over the course of a few working days, it was out with the old and in with the new, including new flooring, appliances, fixtures and fittings. Commenting on the refurbishment, Volunteer organiser in charge of the project, Olivia Stirling said:
"The Cafe kitchen was literally starting to fall apart before our very eyes and, thanks in no small part to the generosity of Howdens Joinery, we are now proud to be able to do our work in a fabulous new environment. It has given the important Cafe area a new lease of life and patients and staff are now reaping the benefits of having drinks, snacks and food prepared and served from the new kitchen."
HUGE THANKS TO HOWDEN'S JOINERY, Fulham AND TO ALL THE COLLEAGUES AND STAFF AT THE HOSPITAL WHO PUT SO MUCH HARD WORK AND EFFORT INTO MAKING THIS HUGE UNDERTAKING A REALITY.
