NSPCC and Pickfords announce new fundraising partnership
The NSPCC and Pickfords, the UK’s leading national and international removal and storage company announced a new fundraising partnership in July.
The removals company has nearly 1000 employees serving local communities and Managing Director Russell Start is keen for the company to take an active part in supporting local NSPCC initiatives.
Pickfords will raise funds by offering its customers the option of donating their unwanted clothing to the NSPCC. Clothes will be collected on move day and taken to the NSPCC’s recycling partner, Clothes Aid. Clothes Aid will donate £300 to the NSPCC for every tonne collected.
Pickfords employees will also take part in a number of fundraising events throughout the country, the first of which will be a sky dive jump in North London.
Pickfords Managing Direct or Russell Start said, "We chose the NSPCC as our national charity because we strongly identified with its mission, to end child cruelty. The charity does great work both nationally and locally and we are looking forward to taking part in both the Clothes Aid scheme and in local activities to raise funds."
NSPCC head of corporate partnerships Tracey Griffin said: "I'm delighted that Pickfords has chosen to support the NSPCC as its national charity partner. Pickfords' employees will help raise awareness of the NSPCC and our helpline amongst its customers. More children and adults will know where to get help because of Pickfords' support."
Any adult with concerns about a child should call the NSPCC Helpline on 0808 800 5000. If you are a child and you have worries, you can call ChildLine on 0800 1111
