Cardiff Airport have raised just over £5,000 for the British Heart Foundation in Wales.

Staff at the Rhoose held a year of fundraising activities in aid of their charity partner, including a quiz night and an online raffle.

Some of the team took part in the 'September' challenge in aid of BHF Cymru, while more funds were raised via Christmas raffles and donations from both staff and passengers.

The charity also delivered specialist CPR training to workers and customers during the annual health and safety week held by AirportsUK.

Sarah Austin, BHF Cymru's regional fundraising manager, said: "It was great to spend the morning with the team at Cardiff Airport and discuss their incredible efforts in raising more than £5,000 for BHF Cymru."

"In Wales, there are around 340,000 people living with heart and circulatory disease, and the fundraising efforts of Cardiff Airport will help us get a step closer to our vision of a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory disease. Thank you for choosing BHF Cymru as your charity partner for the year."

Lisa Morgan, chair of Cardiff Airport’s Touchdown charity committee, added: "It’s been an absolute pleasure to partner with British Heart Foundation Cymru this year."

"The charity provides crucial support to people living with heart and circulatory disease in Wales and is of course close to the hearts of many of the team at Cardiff Airport. Thanks to our teams fantastic efforts, we are thrilled to have raised over £5,000 for such a wonderful charity!"
