The COVID-19 Expenditure Report 2020 and in Cymraeg details just some examples of how Cardiff & Vale Health Charity has spent monies received via the support shown to us between April 2020 and January 2021, to support our NHS staff, patients and volunteers affected by COVID-19. If you would like to read about just some of the fundraising activity and support shown to Cardiff & Vale Health Charity during the pandemic, please read our COVID-19 Fundraising Report 2020 and in Cymraeg.
Due to the volume of funding applications by staff members across Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, this report is just a snap shot in time of the many and varied ways we have spent monies received by donations from generous businesses, organisations and members of the public. The report also provides Cardiff & Vale Health Charity and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board another opportunity to say a huge thank you to the generous donors and incredible fundraisers who have done so much to support patients and staff during these unprecedented times. Through this support, £750,470 was raised for Cardiff & Vale Health Charity.
We also very kindly received donations from NHS Charities Together which is the overarching charity that represents, supports and champions each individual NHS Charity in the UK. An unbelievable £150 million was raised for NHS Charities Together in 2020 and is currently being distributed to all 220 individual NHS Charities in various ways.
To date, Cardiff & Vale Health Charity has received £299,737 from NHS Charities Together to support staff, patients and volunteers.
A proportion of the monies have been provided to specifically help those who are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Further monies are being applied for from NHS Charities Together to support numerous projects around the Health Board to help relieve pressure on NHS services and with the recovery of the NHS in the long term. We are again so incredibly grateful and thankful for all the support shown to Cardiff & Vale Health Charity and will continue to do all that we can to raise more funds for the benefit of all at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. Thank you.
