Are your parties the talk of town? Good at organising? Always chatting to others as you walk down Cheap Street? Or maybe you are a budding author who can pen an interesting story for the local press? These are the kind of skills the Friends are looking for in appointing some new Trustees. You don’t need A levels, multiple degrees or a million in the bank. All you need is a heart, a few hours a week, to welcome a challenge, to enjoy giving and be willing to join Sherborne’s own hospital charity in supporting the community.
People like you are already Trustees of the Friends of the Yeatman Hospital, who this year will appoint four new Trustees to take over from the Chairman, Marketing & Communications Chair, Events Manager, and a Trustee without portfolio. You don’t need A levels, or multiple degrees or a million in the bank. All you need is a heart, to welcome a challenge, to enjoy giving and be willing to join Sherborne’s own hospital charity in support of the community.
The New Year has started off with energy and drive for the Friends of the Yeatman Hospital. We have already held a Marketing and Communications Sub-Committee, Goverance Sub-Committee and Recruitment Panel meetings and we are barely a fortnight into the New Year.

On the first page of the first Minute Book, which record the meetings of the Friends, it was written that at the First Quarterly Meeting of the Yeatman Hospital Visitor’s Committee was held on July 26th, 1951, ‘The Friends of the Yeatman Hospital’ was born.
I am pleased to say the Friends have been a very busy.
Our campaign to re-open the Minor Injuries Unit at the Yeatman was successful with the announcement it will reopen on the 21 June.
