Team are ready to take Red Nose Day calls
SPECIALIST lender Together will be volunteering to receive donation calls for Red Nose Day 2017 on Friday (March 24).
The call centre team will join in with the fundraising themselves, all in the name of charity.
The team of more than 500 colleagues at Together are also getting creative and hosting a full day of fundraising activity at the company’s Cheadle headquarters.
Staff will be encouraged to come to work dressed to impress as their favourite television or film character and there will be sporting challenges, cake sales, raffles and a jokeathon.
Together’s HR director Kevin Fisher said: “Our colleagues are really supportive when it comes to fundraising so we’re delighted to have been selected again to be a call centre for Comic Relief.
“It’s a fantastic event and we’re lucky to be in a position that we have the facilities and resources needed, so we’re looking forward to playing our part in this nationwide event.”
In 2015 more than 146 call centres, including Together, supported Red Nose Day, helping to raise cash to give extremely vulnerable and disadvantaged people a helping hand to turn their lives around.
Since 1985, Comic Relief has raised more than £1 billion. That money has helped, and is helping, people living incredibly tough lives, both at home in the UK and across the world.
