A Norwich woman is raising cash to thank critical care staff who are looking after her sick father.

Katie Folkard's dad Edward has been in hospital for a week after being taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, having tested positive for Covid-19.

Mr Folkard, 65, is a father of six, and is currently on a ventilator in the hospital's intensive care unit.

Miss Folkard, who lives off Aylsham Road, in Norwich, contacted the hospital and asked if there was a way any money she raised could be given to the ICU team.

The 26-year-old said: "I haven't slept since he has been in there.

"These incredible staff members are sweating and fighting daily with the influx of Covid patients and they still are not getting a pay rise at all. This is the only way I can help by raising funds to give directly to the staff who are doing amazing work.

"We are getting updates two to three times a day. You can hear they are so tired but still call my sister and speak to her for 15 minutes to reassure us."
