De Vere, a collection of historic mansion house estates and distinctive contemporary hotels​, has donated £560,000 to NHS Charities Together to help NHS staff, volunteers, and patients at the centre of the COVID-19 pandemic.

De Vere’s donation will help support NHS staff, volunteers, and patients in key areas including welfare and wellbeing, assistance for patients leaving hospital, and long-term mental health support for NHS workers.

Ellie Orton OBE, CEO of NHS Charities Together, said: 

“NHS staff have delivered incredible care under the most impossible circumstances over the last 18 months, and we continue to be in awe of their dedication. They have gone above and beyond for their patients, not just acting as healthcare professionals but in some cases family to those isolated from loved ones during the pandemic. They have often been the only person there to say goodbye at the end – taking off their gloves to hold the hands of dying patients, so they might feel skin to skin contact before passing away."

“This has taken a huge toll, and many staff have experienced genuine trauma. We are so proud to be able to provide them with the mental health support they so richly deserve and, together, support the long-term recovery of the NHS.”

De Vere’s properties are located across the UK from Surrey to the Cotswolds and set within country estates and parkland, where guests can discover hidden scenic lakes, sculptures, and breath-taking countryside views. Each property is on the doorstep of some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes, offering the opportunity to explore the great British outdoors.

Hotels in the portfolio include De Vere Cotswold Water Park, – surrounded by a nature reserve and beautiful lakes; De Vere Wokefield Estate which has an 18 hole championship golf course; De Vere Tortworth Court set within a 30 acre estate which includes a Victorian arboretum housing more than 300 plant and tree specimens; De Vere Beaumont Estate located within 44-acres of stunning grounds which includes natural ponds, manicured gardens and quirky sculptures; De Vere Latimer Estate nestled in an Area of Outstanding Beauty in the heart of Buckinghamshire; and De Vere Horsley Estate located in Surrey and home to the 19th-century mansion house, Horsley Towers.
