NES Fircroft Europe Raised £13,632 For VaccinAid!

On the 25th of June, our European region successfully completed a race around Europe to support UNICEF’s vaccinate the world programme.

The race around Europe consisted of the team collectively travelling the distance between each of our European operations (4,000km), starting in Warsaw and finishing in Aberdeen, by running, walking, cycling, or swimming.

The aim was to raise £10,000 which provides 8,000 Covid -19 vaccines, or 1500 vaccines, and training for 250 health workers.

The team went above and beyond this goal and managed to raise an impressive £13,632 (+ est. £1239.50 gift aid) to help UNICEF deliver COVID-19 vaccines to those in need.
