During Covid-19, many individuals, businesses and organisations have supported patients and staff at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.
Seven year-old Oscar Wood is a shining example of just one of these kind individuals.
Oscar wanted to do something for young patients in the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales who had been affected by the pandemic, to show them they weren’t forgotten. He wanted to raise money for the children and buy something to help make it better for them while they were in hospital through Cardiff & Vale Health Charity.
So Oscar began a campaign to raise money, by creating call-to-action videos and posters and kicked-off the fundraising by donating his own pocket money and encouraged his friends to do the same.
Oscar came to the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales to meet Chief Executive, Len Richards, and hand over a cheque for £1530.
Len said: “It was really lovely to meet Oscar, what a fantastic young man. I’d like to thank Oscar and his friends for donating money to our Health Charity to help make things better for the young patients in the children’s hospital. The Health Board has recently received so much support and kindness – I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who has donated during the past few months.”
