Bridget Jones' Diary author shows her support for Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS charity

Celebrating 25 years of Bridget Jones Helen Fielding and the Daily Mail have donated the fees to Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity.

The author spoke affectionately and openly about the care her mum has received over the years as a patient of CHFT and why she feels it is so important to say thank you.

She said: “I feel especially grateful to Huddersfield Infirmary for always taking such good care of my Mum Nellie, and for the warm, funny and lovely people there.

"I, like everyone else, am looking on in awe at the way NHS staff are keeping going through this crisis day after day when every one of them is exhausted, overstretched and dealing with such hardship and sadness.

"This is a thank you to Calderdale and Huddersfield staff, to show how much you are appreciated. Bridget always likes to look on the bright side and I hope that the donation will go specifically towards giving the staff a treat.
