Local school delivers tasty treats to hospital staff

Staff at Wimborne’s Henbury School have been baking special treats for Dorset’s NHS staff to show their support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cakes, cookies and quiche have been delivered to the Dorset HealthCare-run Alderney Hospital in Poole over the past few weeks.

Baked treats have also been distributed to St. Ann’s Hospital in the town and Poole Hospital’s intensive care unit, where a number of Dorset HealthCare staff are working to support the local acute hospital team.

In addition, the school donated Easter eggs to dedicated staff at Bridport Hospital, and pupils made thank-you cards to show their appreciation.

Chris Clarke, Herm Ward Manager at Alderney Hospital, said:

“We would like to say a big thank you to Henbury School for their generosity. It means so much to our staff who are working selflessly round the clock to care for patients.”

Jane Clarke, Head Teacher at Henbury School, said:

“We wanted to provide our thanks to our local community hospitals for the fantastic work they are doing at this time. We are very glad to hear the teams are enjoying the goodies.”
