A note from Southampton's NHS Heroes:

Your generous gift wont be used to pay for equipment and services the government has committed to funding.

Instead well use it to:

• Boost staff morale.
• Support their mental health and well being.

Your money has enabled us to fund wellness packages with hand creams, food supplies and mental health support information. We’ve also ordered coffee machines to be distributed across the hospital sites and are in the process of securing milk, refreshments and paper  deliveries which is especially important now that many of the shops and restaurants have closed on site.

But there is so much more that is needed like:

• iPads for our Occupational Health colleagues enabling them to do interactive sessions with staff whilst remaining off site.
• Tablets for our staff so that they can connect safely with their loved ones at home whilst working long shifts or isolating themselves.
• We have also identified a safe space for staff, but the room needs remodeling in order to support their needs.
