Gift shops at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) are run by the Auxiliary Team.
What we do
The Auxiliary runs four Giftshops and a Garden Shop throughout both campuses of London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC).
All profits from these shops are donated through LHSF to LHSC to meet their highest priority needs.
LHSC and LHSF work in collaboration to identify LHSC’s highest priority needs. From there, LHSF presents their findings and recommendations to the Auxiliary board, and the Auxiliary board determines which of the projects they would like to support.
