HUGE thank you to everyone who donated gifts to our Social Bite collection. We had a great response and delivered two boxes full of gifts to Social Bite. The gifts of warm clothes, toiletries, games and more will go to people who are homeless this Christmas.

Some quotes from staff and patients about why they #ChooseOT

Must be so difficult to socially distance when you are an inpatient in a mental health ward. Our amazing OT Raquel Sauras has come up with this @NHS_Lothian @CraigStenhouse @Ahpscot @EdinOlderMH #covidheroes #AllInThisTogether #StayAtHome @TraceyMcKigen

Our amazing OTs have done it again with the help of @marksandspencer. Seedling boxes being handed round the wards today. @NHS_Lothian @TraceyMcKigen @CraigStenhouse1 @EdinOlderMH #CovidHeroes #StayHomeSaveLives #AllInThisTogether

Kindness continues #ChooseOT #OTweek2020
