Farnham’s Hospital hoppa service has received a welcome funding boost from the Farnham Institute Charity, helping to secure the future of the highly popular transport service for the coming months.

Launched in July 2025 with sufficient funding for an initial six-month period, Farnham Hospital hoppa has quickly become the most well-used of all Hospital hoppa services. Designed to support residents who need reliable transport to medical appointments, the service provides journeys to Frimley Park Hospital, the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, and locations in between.

During the first six months of operation, the service has completed 573 trips, demonstrating strong community demand. Frimley Park Hospital has emerged as the most popular destination so far, highlighting the essential role hoppa plays in helping patients access critical healthcare.

The recent donation from the Farnham Institute Charity ensures the continuation of the service for several more months, but additional funding will be crucial to maintain operations long term. 

Richard Davies, General Manager at hoppa says: “This grant is fantastic news and reflects just how valued Farnham Hospital hoppa has become in a short space of time. However, continued community and organisational support is vital if we are to keep this invaluable service running for those who depend on it.”

In addition to the Farnham Institute Charity, Farnham Hospital hoppa has received grants from Farnham Town Council, Waverley Borough Council, The Hedgehogs Farnham, the Dempster Trust and Farnham Rotary.

Residents who need transport to hospital appointments are encouraged to get in touch to register their details and find out more about using the service.
