Open letter to the volunteers supporting the Barnsley NHS vaccination service

On behalf of Barnsley Healthcare Federation and all our local partners, I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers who have been supporting the Barnsley NHS Vaccination Service over this past month. 

We have been truly humbled by the amount of people who have contacted us to offer their support and get involved in setting up and supporting what has been a massive community effort. We can’t say thank you enough to all the health and care colleagues who have stepped forward to make this vaccination process run so smoothly. I’d like to give a special mention though to those volunteers, co-ordinated by Barnsley CVS, who are there in the wind, rain and snow - from the moment someone arrives on site to the time they leave - helping people every step of the way.

The contribution of members of the public, who have come forward to volunteer, has been truly invaluable and can’t be understated.  We really couldn’t have done this without their unfailing energy, enthusiasm and support throughout all the challenges of these times that we have, and continue to, collectively face as a borough.  

Thank you for all you have and continue to do in support of our local communities and the NHS.

Dr Mehrban Ghani and James Barker

Chair and Chief Executive of Barnsley Healthcare Federation
