A local business has raised more than £53,000 for the NHS Charities Together.

Bettws Hall Sporting Estates at Bettws Cedewain raised the money through a raffle to win a bird day at Vaynor Park, Berriew.

The hall, which employs 100 people, ended the raffle on Friday when a winner was due to be picked.

“The frontline staff fighting this worldwide pandemic deserve our full support," said Gwyn Evans, Bettws Hall Managing Director.

“They are doing a remarkable job in keeping our country safe. We are all overwhelmed here at Bettws to have smashed our £50k target, but to see the whole community come together for such a truly worthy cause makes you feel very proud."

The funds raised will contribute to what the NHS can provide, such as wellbeing packs, accommodation, travel, parking and volunteer expenses. Support for the longer term mental and rehabilitation of NHS staff, volunteers, patients and carers after the pandemic is over.

Supporting NHS patients to leave hospital quickly and safely and to remain or stay out of hospital.
