The Friends of the Leeds Centre for Leukaemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma
A charity supporting patient needs, equipment and research within the haematology unit. The Friends are a small charity run on a voluntary basis by a group of Trustees none of whom claim any costs.
The Trustees are a mix of medical staff, former NHS staff and supporters. The Trustees meet at least twice a year to consider requests for funding and to oversee financial affairs, but much business is undertaken by email or telephone in between meetings.
