Southampton Hospital Launches New Support Hub
University Hospital Southampton (UHS) has launched a new support hub to help vulnerable people in the city.
An effort seen as the first of its kind in the country, the new support hub is an expansion of a pilot originally set up during the first lockdown in 2020 to support those who were asked to shield. It is now offering a wide range of services to those who need it.
The hub is made up of 58 volunteers, and is funded by a variety of charities including Southampton Hospitals’ Charity, the National Lottery and NHS Charities Together. Services include food parcels, shopping deliveries, befriending, and prescription collections.
