Primary school children have ensured hard-working hospital staff will feel the love this Valentine's Day. 

Royal Alexandra Hospital (RAH) workers were "blown away" after 55 Valentine's cards were delivered over the past week. 

Wallace Primary School pupils demonstrated their kindness with messages including “You are a star!”, “Thank you for protecting us” and “You’re making a difference”.

"Children really are wonderful at reminding us what is important,” said RAH general manager Victoria Cox.

She added: “We were just blown away by the cards – there was a lovely letter attached explaining the children wanted to use St Valentine’s Day to ‘spread the love’ and let hospital staff know how much they are appreciated."

“So much thought has gone into them – we have made a dedicated display in the hospital so all the staff can appreciate them. They have really brightened our week."

Glasgow Times:

Ward housekeeper Suzi McAleer, an ex-pupil of the Elderslie primary school said: “I saw this today on my way into my shift. It’s the sweetest thing I have ever seen.

"Staff all across the NHS are working harder than ever before, so to think that people are thinking of us just gives us that energy to carry on. We don’t need a Valentine on Sunday now, these are the best ones I’ve ever seen!”

Head teacher at Wallace Primary, Mrs Dalrymple said: “I am so proud of the pupils at Wallace for this wonderful gesture. Kindness is one of our school values and it is great to hear of the positive impact the cards have had on the hard-working staff at the RAH.”
