Wessex Community Action has launched its Acts of Appreciation campaign. Chief executive Amber Skyring said the idea came after she was contacted by the father of student nurse Laura Morrow. The 22-year-old, a third-year student nurse at Bournemouth University on her eighth placement at Salisbury District Hospital, said: “Everyone’s morale has been so low lately. Usually we get left lots of sweets and things by visitors and that is a bit of a pick-me-up but because visitors aren’t allowed we don’t get any of that and those little things can mean quite a lot. “And it isn’t just NHS staff. There are people who don’t even get thought about, like the binmen who have been working all this time, postmen and shop workers. They have been so under-appreciated.”
