Donations to Nurses


Good morning from: Mick Pilling (Chairman) Save/Support Bridlington Hospital Campaign Action Group

Once again, I am at a total loss and baffled to understand the logic behind Scarborough Healthcare NHS Trust depriving our loyal dedicated nursing staff at Bridlington Hospital; Tea, Coffee, Biscuits & Sugar; donated with love by the people of Bridlington and the Trust stating it is degrading and demeaning treating them like a charity case?  Were are the Trust coming from; lessons could be learnt if the trust take note from others!

Do we not send our Armed Forces on the front line goodies (Fact) what is the difference?  Do we not send goodies to other good causes?  We think our Nurses are well worth a little TLC and respect them immensely

These Goodies have been donated by the good people of the town of Bridlington; there way of saying; thank you, for looking after me, my family and friends.

We have previously donated Tea, Coffee, Biscuits & Sugar to: The Lawrence Unit £65.00 worth & £60.00+ worth to the Johnson ward; these were accepted with gratitude & many thanks.  Other Nurses at Bridlington Hospital said; when is it our turn; we could all do with a little help.

I fully believe that Scarborough management are been negative and disrespectful to our nursing staff and are using this situation to keep staff under there control.

Our MP; the Rt. Hon. Greg Knight and Bridlington Councillors have donated some of the above; also people in the town stating what a wonderful idea; letters in the press; we now have 6/7 carrier bags full of donated goods to give our brilliant nursing staff; we would have thought with moral been so low the Trust would have welcome such an idea with open-arms.  "The Trust of Doom & Gloom"

We believe it is the Trust who upset staff; NOT the people with kind-hearts who mean well.

This is not Charity but a gesture of good-will

Our Poem to the Nurses

Put our Nurses on a Uppa
Lets all treat em to a Cuppa
We'll make there day so warm and caring 
Donate Tea, Coffee, Biscuit with your Love sharing
