A small initiative started by a group of friends determined to show appreciation for NHS staff working on the frontline in has taken off across Dorset and South Somerset.


In consultation with Dorchester Community Hospital and Yeovil District Hospital, the Nurturing Hospital Staff (NHS Rainbow) campaign has taken off across more than 50 local villages and towns.

Weekly collections of specific items, designed to give staff a treat and a bit of a pamper, have soared and The campaign has so far collected nearly 1,000 individual donations of hand cream, lip balm, shower and bath gels/soaks, scented candles, eye masks and sleep treats.

A spokesperson from Yeovil District Hospital said: “Thank you for all of this hard work, it really is appreciated. Being able to support our staff with these items will bring a much needed morale boost.”
