We want to be able to provide the following for Northampton General Hospital and the community and mental health hospitals across Northamptonshire:

Food packages for the frontline staff and the teams of people who run our hospitals, some are restricted to where they can eat their lunches, sometimes not always having time for a break due to the high demands on their time as they work tirelessly to help the patients! These teams include; Nurses, Doctors, Estates, Porters, Catering, Domestics, PALS and Bereavement services

Tablets for patients to have the chance of seeing the faces of their loved ones at a time they need familiarity, love and support but no visitors are allowed at this time. Some patients are receiving end of life care so the importance of being in contact with family could not be more vital. They can also be used for entertainment and activities and we are providing other resources for these purposes too.

Basic need packs for frontline staff using alternative accommodation near the hospital because they can't go home; as a family member is self-isolating, or their travel time to and from work is too lengthy.

Wellbeing initiatives for staff. Anything from wellbeing packs and the NGH Our Space room a space for staff to take some time out, to the green space for them to get outside for fresh air in nice surroundings and similar projects for the community hospitals. Further support will be needed once the pandemic is over too.

Please donate to support our amazing hospitals and NHS staff.
