The COVID-19 pandemic has left many frontline workers anxious and struggling as they are more likely to contract the virus. That’s why insurance specialist Hooray Health & Protection has decided to donate 100% of its profits to an NHS charity until January 2021 in support of frontliners.
Hooray Health & Protection is raising funds for Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Charity (BSUH) to provide supplies and training, ensuring the welfare of the staff.
“Through our work with small businesses, which have been impacted heavily by the pandemic, we know how important it is to actively support employees in every way possible,” said Charlie Cousins, the founder of Hooray Health & Protection.
“Donating our profits to help NHS staff is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the heroes who are going above and beyond for us all at this challenging time.”
The employee life and income insurance specialist also raised funds for the NHS charity during the lockdown by hosting online poker games for insurance industry colleagues, where each player paid £5 per game. As a result, £400 worth of pizza was delivered to local hospitals, while more food and drink were donated to the NHS staff.
“The support of the community has been remarkable and really makes a difference. This initiative will help to further support staff wellbeing as they respond to the continuing impact of coronavirus,” said Sarah Tasker, the director of BSUH Charity.
