Our staff are working incredibly hard during this Covid-19 pandemic, supporting our patients as best they can in these challenging times. We are fundraising to be able to give them the little extras, such as a room to get away from the ward for 10 minutes and relax during/after a shift or some extra meals and refreshments as canteen opening hours are not 24/7. Not all staff work on a ward, and for those working in the community they are trying to ensure the safety and health of their patients and themselves during this anxious time. Our inpatients are facing the same restrictions on social interactions as we are, and therefore in addition to the programme of activities we are able to run on wards we would like to be able to get them some extras, such as tablet devices to video-call loved ones or e-book vouchers to purchase books to read.
These examples are not exhaustive, and we will use any donations we receive to support all our staff and patients wellbeing both during and after the covid-19 pandemic
