RigBon Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Cawthorne's Travel of Rotherham (who transport the Rotherham Owls up-and-down the land) have been running upto 5 vehicles per day, transporting NHS staff to & from the Rotherham and Sheffield Hospitals. They deperately need help with fuel money to keep the buses running. The drivers are volunteering their time to drive doctors/nurses/etc for free. Rotherham Owls have donated £300, and would love it if you could spare whatever you can - even if it's 'only' a couple of quid - every penny helps! Please donate here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/free-nhs-staff-transportation Thanks, in anticipation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Why can't the doctors and nurses pay for their own travel expenses, like other key workers do such as the retail workers & binmen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Cawthornes posted our donation from Rotherham Owls on Facebook showing the Rotherham Owls flag, got some interesting comments from some Rotherham fans. The post had to be removed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many NHS staff have chipped-in to the fundraiser. It's not so much about the transport being FREE for them; it's about there even BEING transport. Public transport in many areas has been severely curtailed. I heard one nurse saying that if it wasnt for Cawthorne's providing this transport, it'd take her three hours each way to travel to and from work. But d'ya know what? The crap that these people are having to deal with right now means I'm quite happy for them to be receiving free travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you don't use public transport much? Either way still some arsehole comments from you in here jesus don't donate then but sod off from this thread.

@owlstalk Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 The thing with any requests for help like this is someone will come along and say 'yeah but what about.......' It's both sad and disappointing in equal measure. If you think someone else deserves/needs financial help then start a fundraiser for them online. It's easy to do. But don't stomp into someone else's efforts and trample all over it That's not cool Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
