Mountbatten Staff Raise Funds After Virtual Festive Challenge

Mountbatten

Over £1,500 has been raised by staff at Mountbatten in a virtual festive challenge.

That is Despite the official annual Santa Dash being cancelled earlier this month (December),.

Mountbatten nurses, volunteers and their families walked, ran, or cycled a combined total of over 90km.

Their individual festive challenges took place all over the Island during December and were completed in fancy dress.

Mountbatten CEO Nigel Hartley said:

“The enthusiasm of our staff and willingness to go the extra mile never cease to amaze me

“With the Santa Dash cancelled due to the pandemic, we knew it meant a loss of over 5k of income at the end of one of our toughest years financially, so it’s incredible to see them raise such a large amount.

“They did this in their own time with love and kindness for those we care for.

“I would like to say a huge thank you to all our staff and the Island community who continue to support us.”
