On 23rd March 2020, in response to the emerging Covid-19 crisis, The Murray Parish Trust began fundraising to support frontline NHS staff fighting the virus at University Hospital Southampton. As our local NHS heroes faced unimaginable challenges, it was vital to help boost morale, support mental health and well-being and above all, show just how much we all appreciate their tireless work caring for and protecting our community. All funds raised have been used to directly benefit the hardworking staff at UHS including the provision of free hot meals on site.
We are delighted to announce that the final total donated to our NHS Heroes Appeal is:
FINAL TOTAL RAISED
£11,561,75
Our fundraisers yet again went above and beyond in these difficult times.
