The Charities: Flying Colours

Yeovil District Hospital is running a £2.4m fund-raising campaign to support a major planned investment in enhancing the Women’s Hospital.

The Women's Hospital is an integral part of Yeovil District Hospital and adjoins the main building. The Trust will be improving and updating the 42-year-old Women's Hospital building to provide an environment that matches the high standard of care they provide.


It is now hoping to raise  £2.4m from the community to enhance the Women's Hospital which will benefit around 10,000 women of all ages from across South Somerset, parts of Dorset and Mendip, who use it each year.
