NHS staff and patients in Bradford have benefited from more than £182,000 - with a further £145,000 expected to come, thanks to the inspirational Captain Sir Tom Moore.
Captain Sir Tom, who was born in Keighley, raised more than £33 million during the first national lockdown, inspiring thousands more to raise money to support the NHS through the biggest crisis it had ever faced.
Bradford Hospitals’ Charity – the official NHS charity partner of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust – was one of 241 NHS charities in the UK to receive grants from the money he raised.
The NHS Charities Together grants have funded a number of items for staff wellbeing rooms, known as ‘wobble rooms', such as furniture, microwaves, fridges and self-care products like barrier creams and toiletries to ensure staff have the space to take a time out and look after themselves.
