Furloughed staff at the head office of the Independent Hostel network are sewing scrubs for their local care home. This is just one of the many instances where these small hostel businesses scattered across the UK have been doing what they can to help their local neighbourhood during the time of COVID-19. From The Green Rooms providing accommodation for homeless people in London to Alston Hostel whose owners who have been delivering essential items to people in isolation on the North Pennine Moors, good deeds and acts of kindness have been happening in hostels all over the country. Not to mention Abby, from Ocean Backpackers, who went back to nursing in her local hospital just as the Corona Virus struck.

The scrub tops and scrub bags are now in use at a local hospice and care home.
