The Friends of Weardale Community Hospital was set up in 2009 to provide support for the staff and patients of Weardale Community Hospital in Stanhope, County Durham.

Through the generosity and kindness of the people and local businesses of Weardale and The Sir Tom Cowie Trust, Weardale Area Action Partnership and U.K Coal, “The Friends” have been able to purchase patient comforts and modern specialist equipment.

The Friends are currently supporting a project to aid a proposed expansion of the hospital.
