HERTFORD RETAILERS DIG DEEP & DONATE PRIZES FOR NHS FUNDRAISER DURING COVID 19

Despite many of the County Town’s organisations having to temporarily close or move to online-only services due to COVID-19, Hertford’s retailers have dug deep and generously donated prizes totalling over thousands of pounds for a fundraising competition organised by Hertford Town Council.

Over 25 businesses have donated to the competition fundraiser, meaning over 25 fantastic prizes are up for grabs. Additional prizes will be added throughout the month-long campaign.

This fundraising campaign is organised to raise funds for East and North Hertfordshire Hospital’s Charity.

The funds raised will go to their COVID-19 Appeal and cover four NHS hospitals across Hertfordshire: Hertford County, Lister, New QEII and Mount Vernon Cancer Centre.

In order to enter the competition, a donation of at least £5 must be made on the fundraising page. A £5 donation will entitle the donor to one ticket (one chance of securing a prize). A higher donation will entitle the donor to more tickets, for example £10 = 2 tickets, £50 = 10 tickets, £75 = 15 tickets and so on.

The goal is to raise at least £5000 for East and North Hertfordshire Hospital’s Charity during this incredibly challenging and difficult time. For a list of the prizes visit www.gohertford.co.uk/directory/c/nhs-fundraiser-during-covid-19/ and link to donate visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/hertford4nhs

To ensure your donation is entered into the competition you must ensure you include your full name whilst placing your donation online.

There is no maximum donation, so please dig deep like the retailers have done and help save lives.

The competition will close on Sunday 17th May at midnight. Winners will be contacted shortly after the competition. All donations will go to East & North Hertfordshire Hospital’s Charity.

Cllr Jane Sartin, Chairman of the Development and Leisure Committee, said: “Hertford’s businesses have been incredibly generous in their donations to this fundraising effort at what is a very challenging time for them. I hope that people will support this very worthwhile appeal as much as they are able to by buying tickets. I’d also urge everyone to check what goods and services Hertford businesses are continuing to offer, and the GoHertford website is being regularly updated to reflect what can still be bought locally at this time.”
