Hand-drawn and electronic cards were sent to NHS front-line facilities staff including administrators, cleaners, catering, porters, and medical staff at St George’s Hospital, East Surrey Hospital and Croydon University Hospital.
This recognised the often-overlooked non-medical staff without whom the hospitals couldn't continue their life-saving work during the pandemic.
“Our focus is particularly on the unsung heroes of the NHS and hope we managed to bring a smile to their faces. It’s been great to join with members of the local community and offer a special way of saying a Massive Thank You!” Dr. Shelina Jaffer, South London Ismaili CIVIC team
Andrew Bickerdike on behalf of SASH Charity for East Surrey Hospital, Redhill commented: “We are incredibly humbled by the support of our local community since the start of the pandemic and we thank Ismaili CIVIC for their generosity this Christmas after what has been a challenging year for us all. To find out more about how the local community helps support East Surrey, Crawley and Horsham hospitals visit www.sashcharity.org”
This joint collaboration with local schools and hospitals has built a strong foundation upon which we can build more projects in the future. If you’d like to get involved, please register at IIUK.org using the Covid-19 response button to sign-up.
