One of our team members residing in Edinburgh has a niece who is a nurse at the Western General in Edinburgh, who mentioned to our team member that COVID-19 patients who are rushed into hospital have no time to collect basic hygiene items for themselves. Saddened by this often not-discussed issue, our team at Batleys Edinburgh Bellevue hosted a collection in depot, asking customers to donate what they could to be delivered to the hospital.
The collection became so big that there was a surplus of stock even after supporting patients in hospital and so the team thought on their feet and decided to donate the excess goods to local nursing homes to support them too.
Well done to everyone at Edinburgh Bellevue for your quick thinking to support the community in their time of need.
