This is the first staff trip at NUH for over 5+ years, 17 of us will participating and we will be travelling in the Site Staff minibus. As part of a staff wellbeing initiative, we have planned this trip and we are hoping to plan more in the future, covering other locations or activities. Therefore, collectively we need to ensure this trip is successful but most importantly a positive & enjoyable experience.  It has been challenging few years with the pandemic and exercise and social interaction has a positive impact on physical and mental wellbeing.  At Newham we are so grateful to the public for the generous donations they have made to Barts Charity.  

• Wellbeing funding to improve staff environments – we’ve given £2m to improve staff rooms, changing rooms and showers, cycle storage, and overnight on-call rooms 
• A long-term mental health package – our £1m will ensure that individuals and teams get the psychological support they need to deal with the pandemic 

Funding extraordinary healthcare

Although the emergency appeal has now ended, our work has not – as the Trust’s dedicated charity we need your help to continue to fund initiatives that support staff and save lives throughout this pandemic and beyond.

In the coming months we’ll be making further announcements about what long-term support looks like for our hospitals and our East London community, including COVID-related research and patient-focused initiatives.

I'm fundraising for Barts Charity to support the amazing Newham hospital of Barts Health NHS Trust. Your donation will help make things better for patients and staff, by funding things like state-of-the-art equipment, innovative healthcare projects or ground-breaking medical research. Thank you for your support. Together, we can make extraordinary healthcare happen.
