A social enterprise is delivering thousands of pounds\u2019 worth of treats to help lift the spirits of healthcare workers in the West Midlands, inspired by one doctor\u2019s emotional appeal for support.<\/p>\n
Hampers for Heroes, which is run by Victoria Hanson, 44, a management consultant from Solihull, has delivered supplies to more than 20,000 health and social care staff in the region since the pandemic began.<\/p>\n
A further \u00a37,000 has already been raised since the latest appeal in January to support ICU staff, along with \u201chuge amounts of physical donations\u201d from the community.<\/p>\n
