OUR IMPACT
This year has been one of the most challenging for our staff. In the early days of the pandemic, staff were spending weeks away from family to protect them and their patients. Long hot days were spend wearing PPE for hours on end. Hospitals systems were constantly changing and our staff adapting to these new, often more difficult, ways of working. The toll on our staff has been both mental and physical. The Charity has utilised it's Small Things Make a Big Difference fund to support our staff. Over 40 picnic benches and benches have been purchased across both sites as social distancing rules meant staff rooms were either lost or spaces were limited to comply with government regulations. The pandemic has also had a huge effect on the mental health of our staff. Whilst the country was being urged to stay at home, our staff were on the ground caring COVID positive patients, as well as the most unwell patients in our communities who has limited support from their own friends and families as visiting was put on hold. Your fundriaisng has enabled us to provide additional support to those most effected.

Just a note to say a very big thank you for the outdoor picnic tables! I arrived to work in the antenatal clinic at Princess Royal Hospital this morning to find 2 new picnic benches in our outside area. We are all delighted that we are able to eat our lunches and take our breaks in a much better socially distanced way now and wish to send our thanks to you.
