GP group donates care package to Bedfordshire nursing home

Carers at Steppingley nursing home, Orchard Lawns, were just one of many in the county to benefit from a care package from the Afro GP Herts group.

GP members of the group donated 30 loaves of bread, 120 eggs, 25 pastas per home, a big box of assorted fruits including grapes, apples, bananas, pears and oranges as well as two boxes of chips.

Dr Dayo Kuku, who visited Orchid Lawns Nursing Home with Dr. Kunle Orebiyi, said: "It was an honour to support the care workers at Orchid Lawn Nursing Home.

"Being an frontline worker myself, I understand the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on frontline staff and care workers.

"The pleasure was truly mine to witness the smile on their faces as we delivered essential food supplies.

"I’d like to say a massive thank you once again, for the sacrifices made on a daily basis and for being a positive force for our elderly and vulnerable community."
