Blue Skies Hospital Fund

Rebecca Bebbington·Jan 21, 2022

Blue Skies share how donations from NetVoucherCodes has supported local hospital staff & patients throughout the pandemic

Blue Skies is a local charity that specialises in supporting patient care and medical research in the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre area which we’re proud to have supported during one of the toughest times our NHS has seen in the last decade. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, NetVoucherCodes has donated over £4200 for Blackpool Victoria Hospital in aid of our NHS heroes!

Community fundraiser from Blue Skies, Joanna Allitt told us how our donations have made a positive impact on the staff and patients at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

The donations from NetVoucherCodes have been fantastic. Since that first donation in March 2020, we have been overwhelmed to see that these donations have been regularly made and we are so grateful.  It helped us immensely when fundraising as we knew it came to a standstill in 2020.

The donations meant that we could turn our focus to the staff at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals and buy them care packs as a thank you (as seen in the picture).

It also meant that we could go much further and put the money towards refurbishing staff rooms and creating wobble rooms for those front line staff to go to, to take off their PPE and just have 5 minutes to recoup.

We also bought outdoor benches so that staff could eat outdoors as no communal eating was allowed in the hospital. As we go back to ‘normal’, we still need to keep an eye on our much-loved staff and this money continues to support the health and wellbeing of our staff.

Joanna Allitt, Community Fundraiser – Blue Skies

We hope our donations continue to make a difference to those on the frontline!
