£3million for staff wellbeing

Thanks to donations to our emergency COVID-19 appeal, staff at our five hospitals will benefit from a new package of wellbeing support.

We’re giving £1million for mental health support, with clinical psychologists being deployed to offer mental health first aid, counselling and wellbeing sessions to NHS workers across the hospitals. A further £2million will fund an extensive refurbishment programme for staff areas in the hospitals including rest areas, on-call overnight rooms and cycle storage.

Caring for our carers

Although the initial peak of COVID-19 has passed, its impact is still being felt by NHS staff.

They are at risk of stress, anxiety and other mental health problems brought on by the COVID-19 crisis, and many are wondering how they will cope with a second wave.

That's why we've dedicated £1million of our new wellbeing support package to mental health support.

Here for you

Following government advice, staff at Barts Charity will be working remotely for the foreseeable future. Please rest assured that it's business as usual for us and we’re still very much here for our fundraisers, our grant holders and, of course, all the staff and patients at St Bartholomew’s, The Royal London, Mile End, Newham and Whipps Cross Hospitals.

We have never been prouder to support the dedicated staff at the Barts Health NHS hospitals, who are working on the frontline of the response to  the COVID-19 outbreak, and we’ll continue to provide the funding they need to deliver exceptional care to the people of East London.
