Barnardo's Gets A 'Home' - With Royal Mail
Royal Mail Group has officially launched a new corporate partnership with children's charity Barnardo's.
Royal Mail Group's new charity partner was chosen following a business-wide ballot of employees as the successful three-year partnership with Help the Hospices ended in March this year.
Barbara Roulston, Royal Mail Group's Head of External Relations in Northern Ireland said, "As a large organisation with people working in every town and city in the UK we were looking to partner a UK-wide charity so that everyone can get involved and make a contribution locally, regardless of where they work.
"I am confident that our people will rise to the new challenge - already Barnardo's is one of the favourite charities that employees donate to through payroll giving and we will be encouraging our people nationwide to volunteer and to organise local fundraising events."
On hearing the news that Barnardo's had been successful in its bid to become Royal Mail Group's new charity partner, Lynda Wilson, Director Barnardo's Northern Ireland commented: "I am delighted that Royal Mail Group staff have chosen Barnardo's as a charity partner and I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who voted for us and to those who will be raising vital funds.
"People at Royal Mail have an excellent reputation for raising money for charity and I hope we can inspire them with our work here in Northern Ireland working with some of the most disadvantaged children in the UK to raise a record amount. I look forward to working with them."
Royal Mail Group itself will provide grants to top up funds raised by its employees. All of the money raised by Royal Mail Group in Northern Ireland will be distributed to the 49 Barnardo's local community based projects that help 9,500 children and young people throughout Northern Ireland.
