WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP

In these unprecedented times, our staff are working incredibly hard to take care of you and your loved ones. Many of our staff are facing brand new challenges and working under extreme pressure day after day. The COVID-19 pandemic means that the day-to-day life of our clinical staff has changed dramatically. They are working long shifts in stressful conditions and just like the rest of us, they are not able see the friends and family they rely on the most during difficult times.

As the situation evolves, the hospitals needs will vary, but we know that the staff will remain at the forefront of everyones minds and as their official charity, we will do everything we can to support them.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

By donating to Yeovil Hospital Charity, you will be helping to make sure our staff have everything they need to make a difference for patients. Your donations so far have already made a big difference and we have lots more ideas for 2021:

- Provide a Health and Wellbeing programme for staff and counselling for staff who need extra help

- Distribute wellbeing packs and extra morale boosting food and treats for staff

-Support the hospitals volunteers, so they are equipped to make a difference for staff and for patients

-Fund any additional equipment that is not already provided by the government

- Support the Yeovil Hospital chaplaincy

-Help our Art Coordinator to improve the hospital environment, using art and colours to make people smile at this difficult time

- Provide art and craft materials for our Cancer team and our Dementia team, so that patients who spend a long time in hospital can take part in creative activities

- Provide safe and secure areas for staff so that they can take a break

- Identify where the need is greatest and work with the hospital to fund whatever will make a difference

Please help us to show our staff how much they are appreciated. Your support means a lot to the team here at Yeovil Hospital, so thank you.
