Project narrative

Around April 1, 2020, MG Motor UK Limited has donated 30,000 medical surgical masks to NHS Birmingham, NHS Wales, and NHS Ireland. The first delivery of masks was made to the temporary NHS Nightingale Hospital Birmingham, at the NEC, on April 20, 2020. Some 10,000 masks were delivered to the site. The remaining 20,000 masks will be distributed between hospitals in south Wales, Dublin and Cork. The two Welsh NHS trusts will receive 5,000 each, while the other 10,000 will cross the Irish Sea and head for the Republic of Ireland. In addition, the company also provided 100 MG EV vehicles to the NHS across the UK for free use by its institutions from March to June of 2020 (captured via linked Record ID#99651).
