Despite many of the County Town’s businesses having to temporarily close or move to online-only services due to COVID-19, Hertford’s retailers dug deep and generously donated prizes totalling thousands of pounds for a fundraising competition organised by Hertford Town Council.
Thirty-three local businesses donated prizes to the competition fundraiser which raised £3005 for East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity.
The funds raised have gone to their COVID-19 Appeal and cover four NHS hospitals across Hertfordshire: Hertford County, Lister, New QEII and Mount Vernon Cancer Centre.
A total of 168 people entered the competition donating money to the worthy cause.
Cllr Jane Sartin, Chairman of the Development and Leisure Committee, said:
“Hertford’s businesses were very generous in their donations of goods and services in what is a challenging time for them. Thank you to everyone who supported this with their financial donations to the East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity. As our town centre starts to come back to life over the coming weeks and months, I hope Hertford residents will support our local businesses which play such an important role in our community.”
Claire Adams, Community Fundraiser at East and North Hertfordshire Hospitals’ Charity, said:
“We’re extremely grateful for the thousands of pounds raised by the online raffle. We would like to thank Hertford Town Council, all the retailers who gave so many fantastic prizes and everyone who made a donation to buy tickets.
The money raised will go towards our #HereForEachOther appeal, which is supporting the physical and emotional wellbeing of our hospitals’ staff as they work hard to serve our communities through the COVID-19 outbreak.”
