The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital is appealing for donations of food, drink and toiletries for staff working around the clock amid the coronavirus outbreak.
The hospital’s charity has a long list of essentials needed to support its workforce, and is appealing for businesses to help out.
Requested donations include tea, coffee, snacks, toiletries, and pyjamas for staff who may have to sleep at the hospital.
The supplies will support those working in the children’s hospital, as well as the MRI, Wythenshawe Hospital and Trafford General.
