n February, the WM of Stedfast Unity Lodge identifi ed an opportunity for the members to be of service to those
Iheroes working tirelessly to help everyone.
Jim proposed we help the nurses and support staff in the hospitals suffering from dry skin, due to the volume of hand
washing and astringent effects of the alcohol gels, by providing them with moisturisers and balms.
Thanks to donations we exceeded the initial target of £250, achieving £600. Last week Jim & Tony used this to deliver a
total of 236 lip balms and 299 moisturisers to Addenbrookes and Papworth hospitals.

Jess Hughes, Community Fund-raiser at Papworth wrote to thanks the lodge on behalf of Royal Papworth Hospital
Charity.He said:
“Your generosity allows us to support our staff at Royal Papworth Hospital during the coronavirus pandemic.
As a specialist lung hospital and one of only fi ve national ECMO centres, our Critical Care Unit has been the
busiest in the East of England.

We are acutely aware of the strain that working on the front-line places on our staff and we are doing all we
can to support their emotional and physical well-being at this time. Your donation to Royal Papworth Hospital
Charity has provided additional support for staff as they work tirelessly caring for patients with coronavirus.
By providing pick-up stations across the hospital with essentials, treats and overnight packs, we have been
able to give something back to our staff, keep them going during these challenging times and show them
how much they mean to us all.
On behalf of our patients, their families and the staff at Royal Papworth Hospital thank you once again for
your generosity.”
