Newport’s Orchard House has decided to treat essential services workers to breakfast with free takeaways. The initiative aims to acknowledge and support the hardworking individuals who provide essential services, offering them a small but meaningful token of gratitude. Whether they’re healthcare workers, emergency responders, or public service staff, these workers can stop by Orchard House – located on Fairlee Road – grab a delicious breakfast, and continue their vital work feeling appreciated and fuelled for the day ahead. If you’re part of the Island’s essential services, or a community nurse or carer, drop into Orchard House every Wednesday, from 29th May to 26th June, from 07:30-10:00 for a pastry, bacon roll or fresh fruit salad and a coffee or tea.

What a fabulous gesture.
It’s a grand gesture. I know many paramedics who go from one incident to another without a break, without a chance to de-escalate what they have just experienced.
When I was a nipper and volunteered at the Isle of Wight County Hospital, Ryde, the cooks would make up nammit boxes for the ambulance crews. I remember one Staff Nurse telling me, “Mum’s the word,” as this wasn’t supposed to happen.
