Clothes Bank supports Covid patients
The Covid crisis has created new challenges for patients going into hospital, so things we would normally take for granted, such as having access to a change of clothes or a toothbrush and toothpaste during a hospital stay have become really difficult.
Many patients found themselves with nothing but the clothes they were wearing and no opportunity for loved ones to bring them the essentials.
The NHS charity used the funding to support the Clothes Bank at the Western General Hospital so it could provide clothing and toiletries to patients who had no other way to access these, making their hospital stay just that little bit easier.
