The BuyThemACoffee_KCH fundraiser was set up on March 23rd. I have lived in this area for nearly 20 years so I know a lot of people who work at Kings; my eldest son was born there and a number of friends have received essential and sometimes lifesaving treatment from the hospital. www.gofundme.com/f/buy-them-a-coffee-kch | Instagram buythemacoffee_kch/ When the pandemic started, I searched to see if there were any local initiatives set up to support Kings during the crisis, and not finding any, I decided to do it myself. Early on, I was advised to speak to the hospital to find out what support they needed: King’s was already handling covid patients when we spoke to them - and the management quickly decided that staff wellbeing needed to be an essential part of their response to the crisis. They centralised all the wellbeing through the hospital boardroom
