DURING each of the last five years, the communities in the local area have raised over £1,200 for the work of Christian Aid. In Christian Aid Week this year, May 10 to 16, there will be no house-to-house collections, coffee mornings or May Day walk. However, the need to help families around the world to overcome poverty and injustice continues. Sara Millard, local co-ordinator for Oughtibridge, Worrall and Wharncliffe Side, said: “As this virus spreads across the world, love rises up in
response. You’ve already shown incredible kindness to your neighbours. Now is the time to reach out to your neighbours both near and far. “Your love protects. From storms, from drought, and now from coronavirus. Your love protects our global neighbours battling the spread of this illness. Your love protects. With soap, clean water and medical supplies. “Christian Aid and our partners already have experience of limiting the spread of infection during the Ebola crisis, and we will build on this experience to continue to stand
together with communities living in poverty during this period. “By supporting us this Christian Aid Week, you can reach out and protect more of your neighbours today.” Donations can be given via the website at https://www.christianaid. org.uk/ - please identify your gift as from Sheffield. The website also holds further information. You give a donation via your local church when they are able to open again.
College donates vital PPE to Barnsley Hospital BARNSLEY College Public Services department have donated desperately needed Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to frontline NHS staff working at Barnsley Hospital. The department donated 30 chemosuits and shoe covers, 30 face masks, 50 pairs of protective glasses and 12,000 gloves which will be worn by hospital staff to prevent the spread of COVID-19 when they are treating patients. Barnsley Hospital’s Head of Commercial and Procurement Ser-
vices Michael King added: “Providing PPE to our staff so we can care for our patients is our absolute priority. Obviously, it is well documented that the UK has some PPE supply issues so this very kind donation will help us in our fight against COVID19. The support from the people, businesses and education has been nothing short of amazing. We are very lucky to have such kind hearted people in our borough all pulling together when NHS staff and NHS Patients need it most. Thank you!”
