The most wonderful
time of the year?
NHS staff are facing a long, dark winter.
They need your support, now.
As winter creeps in, the pressure is mounting. NHS staff need you, now.
When you woke up on this dark morning, many thousands of NHS staff had just finished a long gruelling shift. Many more will have been heading out into the dark and cold to be there for us when we need them most.
They dedicate their lives to caring for us. But the pressures of being stressed, overworked and understaffed are taking their toll.
Staff wellbeing is no longer a ‘nice to have’. The future of the NHS depends on it. If we can support staff, we’ll help them deliver the best possible care for their patients too. That’s people like you and your loved ones.
Donate today and you could help fund projects that support NHS staff this winter – and all year round.
Will you care for those who care for us?
