Goody parcels are being delivered to staff at North Walsham War Memorial Hospital to give the hard-working team a boost during the coronavirus pandemic.

They are being supplied by the hospital’s Friends support group, which routinely channels public cash donations into buying extras to benefit patients, visitors and staff.

The goodies, ranging from tea and coffee to individual cakes, chocolate and biscuits have been sourced through Trunch Corner Stores in the home village of Friends chairman Keith Jarvis.
