The League of Friends of the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital are playing their part by keeping one of their main shops situated in the Ward block open 7 days a week, on a skeleton staff.

The shop is continuing to offer a much needed service to our marvellous NHS staff, in addition to the normal range of products and has also started selling extra essentials such as milk, eggs, bread, fruit/vegetable/salad boxes plus a pre-order service where staff can place an order and collect the following day after their shift. Of course the famous Chelsea buns are included.

Feedback from staff has been extremely appreciative of the fact that one of the LoF shops is still open and has the added option of pre-ordering

Julia Clarke, Director of Corporate Services at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, said: “We are incredibly lucky to have the support of the League of Friends who always step up to help us in times of need. They have gone the extra mile again by providing our staff with convenient essential provisions boxes that they can collect at the end of their shifts to help make their lives a little easier, and we would like to thank them for their support
