Healthcare trust has set up an appeals page for donations and gifts

The local health trust covering Ealing has set up a special page for public donations.

London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust, say the public response to the COVID-19 crisis and the impact on their staff has been incredible.

They say Individuals, businesses and organisations throughout Ealing, Harrow and Brent have been amazingly generous with pledges of support for all our staff facing this most unprecedented of challenges.

Mohammad Shabbire and his colleagues from Pizza Hut recently delivered a free batch of pizzas to hard pressed staff at Ealing and Northwick Park hospitals.

The pizzas had a message saying: “Everyone at Pizza Hut appreciates how hard you must all be working at this time. We have been humbled  by the incredible dedication and commitment shown by you and you colleagues and wanted to say a huge personal thank you.''

LNWH Charity, the official charity partner for London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust, and the LNWH Occupational Health department, have now created a COVID-19 Staff Well-being Appeal and are coordinating all donations and gifts.

The Appeal Team will use any funds raised to provide psychological support, healthy food, care packs and quiet spaces for LNWH NHS staff to relax during their breaks.

Appeal Team Lead Victoria Manning said: ‘We are truly humbled by the outpouring of support for our wonderful NHS staff as they cope with the difficulties of the current situation.

“We want to make sure that this amazing support is coordinated effectively, so we ask the public and businesses to either donate though our Appeals page on JustGiving, our Charity website at www.lnwhcharity.org.uk/donate or by emailing us on lnwh-tr.charity@nhs.net

We have a shopping list of items that staff have requested that we can share with you on request.’

LNWH Charity will ensure that all of the donations they receive through the website or JustGiving will be used to support all NHS staff across all hospital and community services.
