The Innovation Team will be taking part in The Fan y Big Challenge, walking in the Brecon Beacons Wales. This challenging hike will cover 22km of varied and rugged terrain, taking the team along well-known trails and less-trodden paths, leading to the dramatic summit of Fan y Big (717m).

The Innovation Team has invited staff from Velindre University NHS Trust and the Welsh Blood Service to form their own teams and get involved in this extremely rewarding challenge. This is with the aim of raising funds and awareness of the charity and of the impactful projects it supports.

This is an exciting opportunity for staff to come together and raise funds for a cause that's close to the hearts of everyone at Velindre and the Welsh Blood Service.
