“The people at DBTH are determined and loyal and have worked through some of the most challenging years of their careers in recent times.

Led by NHS Charities Together and the network of more than 230 NHS charities around the UK, the NHS Big Tea brings the nation together to celebrate the birthday of the NHS in July and give thanks to the workforce.
The events also help raise funds to provide the extra support needed for colleagues, patients, and volunteers – last year the DBTH charity attracted donations just short of £1,000.
