CAN you help hospital patients in Gwent by donating toiletries or clean night clothes?
Aneurin Bevan University Health Board was forced to stop visiting at its hospitals earlier this month in a bid to stop the spread of Covid-19 coronavirus.
But many patients rely on visitors to bring them much-needed supplies, and during this lockdown period the health board said many patients were now running out of essentials.
