Critical NHS was founded as a community based non-profit organisation (in March 2020) to support NHS staff at the Critical Care Unit at St George’s Hospital, responding to the coronavirus pandemic, and sustain local businesses and restaurants as suppliers – a roster of deliveries was coordinated across 40 volunteers to deliver regular lunch and evening meals supplemented by donations of protective clothing, electronic items, care packages, baked treats and desserts; we have also covered car parking fees and accommodation for staff members to be able to continue to work under the lockdown. Operations have been expanded to develop a supply chain to deliver 1,500 meals a day to the end of June, working with partners, to 15 hospitals across London and Surrey and potentially extend catering to care facilities too.
