How did we do?
Building support for the best care
We are bringing hospital sta昀昀, patients, families and supporters together
to raise the funds and awareness we need to make the best care possible.
Celebrating our brilliant supporters
Building our supporter network
Whether they be grateful patients, families of loved
ones, or our extraordinary King’s staff, our supporters
always go above and beyond to fundraise for our cause.
During 2024/25, we recruited over 2,000 new
regular donors. This crucial source of unrestricted
income enables us to direct funds wherever the
need is greatest.
Growing our unrestricted income
Our supporters include incredible people like
Jon, who was admitted to King’s College Hospital
in June 2023 with a traumatic brain injury after
fracturing his skull in an accident.
In 2024/25 we continued to focus our efforts on
growing our sustainable, unrestricted income.
The King’s Lottery started in 2021 and reached new
heights this year. It raised £430,000 in 2024/25 and
recruited 9,917 new players. After reaching £250k in
income, we successfully applied for our Gambling
Commission licence, giving us the scope for further
growth.
Recruitment for the London Landmarks Half Marathon
continues to thrive. In 2024, 96 runners took to the
streets of London for Team King’s and raised an
incredible £90,757!
Jon was only given a 33% chance of survival, but
thanks to the surgeons at King’s in the Critical
Care Unit, he underwent four major surgeries that
eventually brought hope into view. After intensive
occupational therapy, Jon left King’s after 35 days
and is now living a normal life. Jon took part in last
year’s Great Hospital Hike and raised over £8,000!

There was a big chance
that I wasn’t going to survive
– King’s staff, especially in the
CCU, are very high-achieving.
The technology there is class-leading and
the staff were very good.”
