Bluebell Appeal
In the last 5 years NHS staff have been through so much. Will you donate to the Bluebell Appeal and help them bloom?
When the pandemic hit, NHS staff stepped up to care for us, putting themselves at risk to save lives. Five years on, many NHS staff still live with the mental and emotional damage caused by the crisis, whilst they continue to care for us all.
Everywhere you look in nature during spring, the past is being left behind and new life is blooming.
With your help we can continue to do the same for NHS staff who still carry the memories, stress and anxiety from what they had to take on during the pandemic.
Your donation could help support NHS staff still working through their experiences of the pandemic – and the challenges they face today.
Your support will also help us make healthcare better for everyone across the UK, by enabling us to fund projects that will improve access to health services, empower communities to live well, and provide the best patient experiences.
Help NHS staff to bloom. Support the Bluebell Appeal today.
