Jordan Eggington – Monday 30th November 2020 – 9am.
T’was the day before December, and all through the land, Morale was low, with little joy to hand, 2020 was a year that won’t be forgotten, Seeing loved ones from a distance, for many it’s been rotten, But one thing’s for sure, we’ve all come together, To spread joy while we can, remembering loved ones forever, Now as we look forward, to a year with new hope, We take time to say thanks, as we’ve all had to cope.
There’s no doubt that 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us, with everyone experiencing their own personal struggles. Within the Trust, this year has seen mass recruitment in call assessors to cope with demand, students stepping in on the frontline and staff even making the brave decision to move away from home in order to keep both their families and patients safe.
Although the word ‘sacrifice’ comes to mind when thinking about 2020, so does the word ‘grateful’.
“2020 has made me appreciate life, because at the start of the year I almost lost mine…”
“I am thankful for being able to play a small part in helping people…”
“2020 was the year I helped bring life into the world…”
These are the words of just a few of our colleagues. Starting tomorrow, we are launching the #WMASAdvent Calendar. With everything that’s happened (or hasn’t) this year due to the pandemic it could be very easy to sweep it under the carpet, but our staff wanted to take the time to reflect and appreciate what 2020 has given them. Each day up until Christmas Eve at 8:30am you will hear from one of our colleagues saying what they’re thankful for on the @officialwmas social media pages, as we head into a more hopeful 2021.
