A mental health nurse from the Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust has thanked organisations for their generosity in what she describes as “a very busy time”.

Some of the freebies she and others have received so far include drinks from McDonalds, Dominos pizza and some amazing deliveries from shops like TK Maxx, which has closed its doors.

Hollie Wadsworth, deputy charge nurse at Hawthorne Court, said it is nice to see all of the appreciation.

"These gestures go a long way," she said. "We are working very hard and it’s nice to see some appreciation for this during these uncertain times."

"The staff on the unit really appreciate the gesture and it’s safe to say we’ve already treated ourselves to some of the great offers to lighten the atmosphere and keep spirits up. "

The mental health nurse said she feels proud to be part of the NHS and these random acts of kindness are the kind of positivity the staff on the unit need right now.

She said: “I would also like to thank all the other individuals who are helping to keep our country going at this time.

"Staff in supermarkets, delivery drivers and so on, we understand the pressure you are under and I hope you are also finding some small gratitude like we have experienced this past week. You are doing a great job.”

When speaking about the topics of social distancing and self-isolation, Miss Wadsworth said: “It’s been a very busy week and although we have a long way to go, I have no doubt that our NHS will do what it does best and pull together to get through the next few months.

"Even in mental health services, we’re preparing to look after those affected by the virus as their mental health needs may override their ability to fully self-isolate. The overall health of our patients is our top priority and I’m proud to do my part.”
