Say thank you to local care homes

Neighbours Valerie Westfield and Lesley Waugh were keen to show their gratitude for the staff who have been working under difficult circumstances for several months and have set up a Just Giving page where people can make a donation in support these dedicated workers.

“The current Coronavirus crisis has helped us all become more aware of the needs and vulnerabilities of our older citizens, and the vital role that staff who care for them play,” explained Lesley and Valerie.

“They work on a daily basis with the shadow of Coronavirus all around them, and the anxiety this brings inevitably impacts on their own emotional health and wellbeing. It also impacts on their partners and families, who support and live with them.

“Let’s demonstrate our appreciation, respect and gratitude to the staff in the six care homes within a three mile radius of Hillsborough through a donation.”
