LOVE Musgrove, the official charity of Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, is appealing to the public to support its Covid-19 Response Fund.

The money will fund well-being packs for staff and volunteers, buy food to make meals for staff during shifts and provide equipment for the busiest departments like the Intensive Therapy Unit.

It will also pay for items to support patients in isolation such as iPads and DAB radios, and fund travel, parking and accommodation for staff and volunteers, among other things.

It is easy to make a donation – online at www.
