NFU Mutual Agents and their staff at the local Aberystwyth agency recently nominated local charity Bronglais Chemo Appeal to receive a donation of £6,379 from NFU Mutual’s national £1.92million ‘Agency Giving Fund’.
The leading rural insurer has launched this fund, now in its third year, to help local frontline charities across the country. The Agency Giving Fund forms part of NFU Mutual’s £3.25m funding pledge for both local and national charities in 2022, to help tackle the ongoing effects of the pandemic and assist with recovery.
To ensure these donations reach all corners of the UK and are directed where they’re needed most, NFU Mutual’s Agents, with over 295 offices nationwide, have been given the opportunity to nominate local charities to receive a share of the fund.
This donation will help the Bronglais Chemo Appeal as it aims to raise the final £500,000 needed for construction to start on a new, purpose-built chemotherapy day unit for Bronglais Hospital.
Agent for NFU Mutual in Aberystwyth, Rhys Davies, said: “NFU Mutual has been a champion of rural communities the length and breadth of the UK for over 110 years, and the Agency Giving Fund champions local causes that are working day and night to change people’s lives and give hope for a better future. We’re extremely proud to have nominated the Bronglais Chemo Appeal for this donation and are delighted to be able to support the vital contribution they make to our community.”
Bridget Harpwood, Fundraising Officer for Hywel Dda Health Charities, which is running the appeal, said: “We’re enormously thankful to the Aberystwyth agency of NFU Mutual for nominating our charity to receive a donation from the NFU Mutual Agency Giving Fund.
“With the help of our local communities, our dream of having a brand-new, modern and fit-for-the-future unit to greatly improve the experience for our patients can become a reality. For further information on the Appeal go to: www.hywelddahealthcharities.org.uk.”
