Supporting staff at Kings


Recommended Posts

Hi folks,


Hope everyone is weathering this surreal and scary time as well as they can. We?ve had a suggestion come up in the Goose Green Mutual Aid group to raise some money to buy fresh food for our hardworking NHS neighbours at Kings (modelled on this: https://www.gofundme.com/f/nhs-foodbox-fundraiser-for-st-thomas-icu?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet)


Does anyone have a contact at Kings (or indeed works at Kings) that we can speak to about this and try and get it off the ground?


Thanks so much all, your help is really appreciated.


Edit: oops admin - I know that King?s isn?t in ED but we want to try and be good neighbours at this time. Hope this is ok and that you?ll allow this thread.

Hi,


We are working with Kings to try and get something off the ground.


Kings administration have confirmed they need help providing food, drinks, toiletries etc for their staff wellbeing centres at Denmark Hill and Princess Royal King?s sites. We have a call today to get a full brief and will then kick this off via gofundme and in conjunction with local restaurants/suppliers. Will share more details as soon as we have them...

Indeed. We are focusing on their needs, as defined by the Kings staff who are running Wellness Centres for frontline staff. Immediately our focus is to get fresh fruit into the Wellness Centres for staff, but there are other items they want/need. We hope to be delivering fruit to them by Wednesday morning at the latest.. then we will move our efforts forward.

It's really appreciated. The "buy them a coffee" donations gives staff a space to go to on a break, tea coffee and fresh juices. You can ask for basic toiletries if you have run out, essentials if your stuck at work (deodorant, tooth brush that kind of thing). I was craving green veg and was given a bag full to take home. The supermarkets that open early for NHS are still not that practical if your on a 12.5 hour shift start 0730hrs. On a day off you really do want to have a lie in and go no where.

So it's much more than just a coffee and does really help. And the clapping was amazing.

Hi, have changed it now - the fundraiser was set up independently of the Goose Green MA of which I?m an admin for and my initial post was about us wanting to set something up. As that?s already been done by someone else, I?m happy to change the title given that someone has managed to do this.

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
