HOSPITAL staff working hard to battle the coronavirus outbreak have been given a refreshing donation from a Newport company.

This morning A1 Skips donated a skip full of soft drinks, including more than 100 bottles of Lucozade, Coca-Cola and Pepsi, as well as coffee and tea, for staff at the Royal Gwent Hospital.

Lee Covell, who took over running the company last month, said: “We wanted to help the staff who are currently under additional demand due to Covid-19 and thought it was necessary to help them out."
