Is there anything that can be done to help if you already work full time like I do?
Sending free snacks etc to staff?
Offer free small bike repairs for NHS/care home/all other workers?

Offer free small bike repairs for NHS/care home/all other workers?I have two NHS nurses collecting free bikes this week, I have been getting the word out through freinds of freinds on facebook that I restore disused / vandalised bikes and do free servicing and it seems to be somethings there is demand for.
I started with this thread which went a bit quiet https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/345463/?offset=50#comment15259391
I have also contacted appeal@imperialcharity.org.uk who are centralising charitable donations to the NHS and got this reply:
Thanks William, we’ve shared this with some colleagues at the Trust to see if they need this support. So kind of you to get in touch, we’ll follow up when we hear back from them.
So that might be worth trying.
William.
I've written and deleted this a few times, its still not as coherent as I would like it to be.
Anecdotally/ experientially:
This last set of night shifts felt very much like the first set just as all the Covid stuff was starting. An increasing number of C19 patients coming in, with more each shift.
This time there is the added bonus of seeing our 'normal' patients - who have been avoiding the hospital, and thus coming in with late presentations, in a worse way.
If this pattern is being replicated elsewhere- we are beginning/already have begun the second wave. With added 'normal' patient load. The staff are also all completely shattered.
I don't hold much hope for the next month.
