Children in Need 2011

Thursday 24th November 2011

 
 

The Placement Group offices did their bit for Children in Need last Friday 18th November in a bid to raise some extra cash for the deserving charity event.

All employees were encouraged to ditch their usual business attire and dress as they wished for the day, donating to Children in Need for the privilege. The day turned out to be a great success and kept spirits high throughout the office; which raised over £150 for Pudsey’s cause!

So far Children in Need have raised an impressive £26,332,334.00 from Fridays events, money which is desperately needed to fund grants and projects in the UK which focus on children and young people who are disadvantaged.

The Children in Need fundraising event is heavily publicised through media and celebrity endorsements, and more importantly supported wholly by the nation’s public. The massive following means each year more and more people get involved with fundraising, which ultimately helps to provide support to small and large organisations which empower children and extend their life choices!
