Offers of support and tokens of gratitude | Our news

We'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who has donated items to support our staff. To recognise their support we’ve rounded up some of the wonderful ways organisations have come together to offer their support and tokens of gratitude to our staff.

• CakeBox delivered fresh and handmade cakes to staff to keep them going during their long shifts.
• Local primary schools have made beautiful cards with lovely messages from children voicing their support for NHS Heroes.
• Michael the taxi driver (local to Newham Hospital) has offered free cab rides to NHS staff, helping out several nurses by helping them get to their shifts on time.
• A number of individuals have offered properties where staff can stay during the pandemic so they don’t have to risk spreading the infection to their families.

There have been further offers of support from both big companies, small businesses and even individual residents all wanting to help staff in any way they can. We're very grateful to you for all your kind offers, thank you.
