All the profit the shop makes goes towards buying extra equipment for the Conquest Hospital.

In the last year the Friends have donated more than £200,000 in new equipment, as well as running the MRI Scanner Appeal.

This extra equipment includes Disability Dental Equipment for £16,800, a £22,000 Ultrasound machine, a bladder scanner for £6,081, pulmonary equipment totalling £23,000 and a Cardiology Ultra Sound for £99,000.

Without the volunteers this would be much reduced and so their generosity, in the time they dedicate for free, is hugely appreciated.
