Bestway Foundation UK donates six-figure sum to charity
Bestway Foundation UK has presented a cheque for £100,000 to The National Brain Appeal at Bestway Group’s Head Office in Park Royal, London
The £100,000 being donated to The National Brain Appeal was raised through Bestway’s annual Ascot Charity Race Day held in June this year.

Our charity is dedicated to transforming the lives of the millions of people affected by neurological conditions. The £100,000 raised will help us to continue funding pioneering research, innovative treatments, and world-class facilities at Queen Square. We would like to extend our thanks to everyone involved in helping to raise this fantastic amount.”
