Blue Skies Hospitals Fund, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals in-house charity, has distributed 250 care packs containing bath bombs, body wash, moisturising creams, luxury soaps, chocolates and drinks to frontline NHS staff.

Head of Blue Skies, Kila Redfearn, said: “We can’t thank our supporters enough for their help over the past year, but we’re still not out of these challenging times. Our wonderful NHS staff are still trying to get through this gruelling time, so hopefully even just a little pack of goodies can help them relax after their long shifts.”

The NHS Charity has also set up an online message and donation board where people can leave a few words of thanks for the healthcare staff from only £2.

The messages will be circulated to all the staff within The Trust as an extra boost of morale.

Donations will go directly to Blue Skies Covid-19 Appeal that supports staff and their wellbeing.
