NHS Tayside Pays it Forward – Links Health Centre supports local food bank

Staff from Links Health Centre have backed the NHS Tayside Pays it Forward campaign by donating food and toiletries to a local food bank.

Team members have been collecting a range of items, which will now be donated to the Montrose Food Bank.

The NHS Tayside Pays it Forward campaign was initiated by members of staff who wanted to donate items to communities across Tayside to say thank you for the support they have received during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As we are now seeing a welcome decrease in the number of coronavirus patients and the focus turns to planning for the next phases, staff decided that it was now their time to give back.

Community staff nurse Tracy Toshney said, “The residents of Montrose have been so incredibly kind to us these past few months that we felt we wanted acknowledge this by giving back to our local community. Everyone in the team was on board with donating to the Montrose Food Bank. This way we can help our local people who may need a little bit of extra help at this time.”

A list of organisations that are accepting donations can be found on the NHS Tayside website.
