Saying thank you

Every year the charity receives donations from grateful patients specifically to thank our wonderful staff which is preferable to sweets, chocolates and biscuits for wards as can then be shared across the whole workforce – all of which are important cogs in the wheel of the hospital; without the wonderful back office staff, porters, cleaners, catering staff, IT support, finance, procurement to name a few the wheel would not turn so smoothly.

To recognise all our staff the charity committee has agreed that these appreciative donations should be spent providing the following extras to all our staff teams to show the gratitude from our community for what they do:

· Rental of beach huts on Bournemouth beach for staff to enter a ballot for a week allocation

· Contributions towards an annual social event

· Sainsburys vouchers to enable teams to purchase refreshments for sharing over the Christmas and New Year period to recognise those that give up time with their family at this special time to care for others

If you would like to donate towards this click here – £50 would pay for a week’s rental of a beach hut thus enabling one member of staff and their family to enjoy this facility, £10 would cover the contribution of the charity towards a Hospital team members social event and £25 would provide refreshments for a team of staff over Christmas.
