Over £44k raised from the NHS Big Tea

Over £44,000 has been raised for the NHS Charities Together through the NHS Big Tea, which took place on the 5th of July 2021.

This is the current total raised through Virgin Money Giving.

The break down of the total is £39,209.06 in donations, plus £5,633.99 received in addition in Gift Aid.

This may not be the final amount, but it shows how deep British people are willing to dig into their pockets for NHS Charities at a hard time for the country. 

The NHS Big Tea had to take place online up and down the country due to Coronavirus restrictions still being in place, this hampered some of the fund raising initiatives slightly.

Vaccines should be global

Russian hackers are attempting to steal coronavirus vaccine research, the American, British and Canadian governments said on Thursday, full article here.

Is it just me that thinks a race for a vaccine should be a global effort?

I am surprised that all nations aren’t working together on this.

After all, it doesn’t really matter who discovers the vaccine so long as it is discovered.

Is scientific pride really this National in the face of a pandemic?
