Once the pandemic ends, our health staff can enjoy some free holidays

-

IN A brilliant act of generosity a Pembrokesh­ire letting agency is giving free holidays to NHS workers in West Wales when the coronaviru­s pandemic ends.

St Brides Bay Cottages has teamed up with its property owners and Operation Recuperati­on to offer free holidays to frontline healthcare workers. The family-run firm has announced the scheme to say thank you to the healthcare heroes who are risking their lives to keep the UK safe during the coronaviru­s pandemic.

Frontline healthcare workers will be able to get a free break in the stunning coastal areas of St Davids,

Solva, Newgale and Porthgain as part of the UK-wide campaign Operation Recuperati­on.

Sam Sibbald, manager of St Brides Bay Cottages, based in Solva, said: “I saw first-hand the pressure the NHS is under, when my dad had a stay in hospital last year. I could tell how pushed they were on a normal dayto-day basis, let alone with having Covid-19 to deal with. Now my dad is at home, needing carers every day, and I can see, more than ever, how much we rely on the people who look after us.

“We’re taking part in Operation Recuperati­on thanks to the generosity of our cottage owners. By gifting stays to these dedicated workers, we’ll be helping them to recover from the fight against coronaviru­s.”
