Commsworld has formed a new ‘chosen charity’ partnership with Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS), which provides Scotland’s only hospice services for children and young people with life-shortening conditions.
The year-long partnership was launched at Commsworld’s annual company day at its headquarters in Edinburgh, and was attended by CHAS Senior Fundraise Sarah Dannfald and Community Fundraiser Zhenya Dove.
Commsworld staff kicked off their fundraising activities by taking part in the Glasgow Kiltwalk last month, while a team of four – Carolann Miller, Kelly Seaman, Nicki Shields and Sam Reymbaut –completed a walk of the 96-mile long West Highland Way over the May bank holiday. A group is also planning to walk the Edinburgh Kiltwalk in September.
Funds will support two children’s hospices and a range of care through the charity’s at Home service.
Commsworld Marketing Manager Martina Corr said: “CHAS is an incredible charity which dedicates itself to providing amazing care and support for children and their families.
“We hope that through our partnership we can raise as much money as we can – which in line with our chosen charity policy will be matched pound for pound by Commsworld – so they can continue to fund their incredible work.”
