It‘s been a difficult year for many of us in the NHS. We have been grateful at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals for the support of our colleagues, and of our communities.

A lot of people in our communities will be struggling at this time of year, more this year than ever before, and many will have lost jobs and income. I have, therefore, set up a collective fundraiser for three local charities who do amazing things for people in the communities that SaTH serves.

Please consider donating a small part of your salary - although this year has been very challenging for all of us, we are lucky enough to be in a position where we can give something to others. A small donation from you could make a big difference to someone who is having a tough time.

This is entirely voluntary. You can donate anonymously. Please choose one (or all!) of the three charities by clicking on ‘Donate to Team Member’ and remember GiftAid. It is difficult to show the charity names on the donate page (tech wizards can let me know how!) but the order is:

Montgomeryshire Family Crisis Crntre

Telford Crisis Support

Shropshire Rural Communities Charity

Thank you so much

Elin

I have sent the donations link to all senior medical staff at SaTH, and I will send a couple of reminders in the run up to Christmas. I will then circulate the amounts raised by email to all senior medical staff just after Christmas.
