Huge donation to local hospitals by IKEA
HARD working hospital staff across Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust can now feel more ‘homely’ in their well-earned breaks thanks to IKEA Lakeside donating £3,500 of products.
The global home furnishing brand wanted to help make a positive impact to staff across Southend, Basildon and Broomfield Hospitals with donations of furniture and a range of kitchen products, and came to Mid and South Essex Hospitals Charity to help make it a reality.
Bookcases, coffee tables, side tables, mugs, plates and many other items have now been distributed across the hospital sites and were gratefully received by staff, who have been working tirelessly during the pandemic.
An MP is blaming the surge in coronavirus cases on those who break the rules. Maldon MP, John Whittingdale said it is shocking that a small minority have continued to break rules across Essex, particularly over the festive period. He said: The whole country faces a huge challenge in containing the spread until the vaccine is administered in sufficient numbers. In Essex, the situation is especially acute with some of the highest rates of infection in the country. This is putting huge pressure on our hospitals with 27,000 being treated across England, with 250 in Broomfield alone. The latest figures show the Maldon District has an infection rate of 939.5 per 100,000.
