This week is National Volunteers Week (1-7 June 2020) – a chance to highlight all the people volunteering their time and skills across the country to support others.
Each year, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show welcomes thousands of visitors from across the country to enjoy all the gardening delights on offer. Back in 2018, C&I won the Feel Good Garden, thanks to a Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) competition, which has benefitted both staff and service users.
Today is International Nurses Day – a chance to celebrate the contribution that nurses make to societies around the world, in alignment with Florence Nightingale’s birthday.
The Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I) Hospital Choir, which is made up of staff, service users and carers, has not let a global pandemic get in the way of their rehearsals – and are now holding virtual sessions via a video conferencing platform, which started on Tuesday 28 April.
The Trust would like to extend its gratitude for all the very kind donations and gifts received from generous individuals, local organisations and businesses during these especially challenging times.
“It’s the biggest learning curve of my life and the most incredible experience – I am completely blown away by everyone’s support,” says Roisin Quinn, 24, a C&I Occupational Therapist, who is working as a Clinical Support Worker at London’s NHS Nightingale Hospital.
