More than £100,000 has been raised to support NHS staff at Yeovil Hospital cope during the pandemic.


Little treats, counselling and extra equipment are all planned after the huge and heartwarming response to a justgiving campaign.
The donations are pouring in with messages of support at justgiving.com/campaign/helpyeovilhospital.


James Kirton, head of fundraising at Yeovil Hospital Charity, said: “We feel there is a lot of goodwill out there and we are just trying to channel it so that people donate and we get lots of support for the hard working staff.”
As the NBV went to press, £99,740 had been raised by 1,278 supporters in ten months. Gift Aid will swell those donations by a
further £3,587.62.

A message on the page says: “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.”
