Help Your NHS
Here to help you support
Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals.
The needs of local hospitals are changing by the day during the coronavirus emergency.
At Help Your NHS we’re in touch with Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals to find out what they need now. And we’re asking for your help through donations to make sure they get it.
What do we do?
Our aim is to match the generosity of the local community with the needs of our local hospital trust.
As Help Your NHS, we:
#1
Are in regular contact with Ashford & St Peter’s Trust to find out what they need most urgently
#2
Use your donations to tick off items from the hospital’s shopping lists by sourcing goods they need wherever we can find them
#3
Talk to local businesses about supplying goods directly to the hospitals

Who are we?
We are Anita and Kristian Karppi. We are local Weybridge residents who want to help others during this difficult time. Every minute and second counts during a pandemic and we need to help our local hospitals as much as we can as they urgently need help and support.
That’s why we’ve set up a direct channel to Ashford & St Peter’s hospitals to find out what they urgently need. We aim to turn the kindness of local people into tangible, urgently needed goods.
