How you can support the NHS
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, incredible people (just like you!) have been showing their support for our NHS heroes.
There are plenty of ways you can support your local NHS and other frontline workers during this time.
Raise money as a way of saying a massive thanks for the extra hours and work they are putting in to keep us all safe.
1. Set up a crowdfunding page
Set up a crowdfunding page for any good cause. Get your friends, family and community involved to support key workers. Create a pot of money to send a thank you to NHS staff. Use it to send a pizza or coffee delivery to those working in hospitals to show your gratitude.
2. Support local trusts and hospices
Donate directly to your local NHS trusts or hospice to support those working there. Find out which NHS support schemes are close to you by searching for them on JustGiving to donate directly. Or start a fundraising page to get more people donating to your local NHS staff.
3. Share pages to your network
Share a page you care about with your friends and family to show your support to our highly important NHS staff on the frontline. The more you share and spread the word the more we can help them at this crucial time
4. Help those in need
There may come a time when some of the most vulnerable people are faced with unexpected financial difficulty as a result of their hospital stay. Support them in their time of need by setting up a crowdfunding page to assist their recovery.
