Supporting communities and wider society
At Novacyt, we believe in contributing to communities where we operate, and we have made donations to various charities and schools in the areas our offices are located. Following the transformational financial performance of Novacyt in 2020, a charity steering committee was created made up from a number of key employees within the group tasked with identifying schools and charities in need of support particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 a sum of £500,000 was dedicated to supporting a total of 25 schools and 50 charities throughout the year. We assisted projects looking to support critically ill children and adults, the homeless, old age pensioners and war veterans.
To support efforts to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa, Novacyt continues to work in partnership with non-governmental organisations to provide testing across the globe.
The Novacyt group is proud to play a part in supporting local communities and is truly humbled by the impact our charitable donations continue to make under the leadership of our charity steering committee on a yearly basis moving forwards.
