Neptune Energy said it would donate £500,000 to help children living in poverty this winter in London.
VULNERABLE CHILDREN
Employees of the company, which has its headquarters in the capital, will also volunteer on projects supported by The Childhood Trust as part of the charity’s Christmas appeal.
The Trust’s campaign aims to help some 50,000 vulnerable children by providing support including hot meals and warm clothes.
Funds raised will also help provide access to mental health support and mentoring, as well as go towards school clubs and opportunities for children to meet and play with others their age.
WIDER SUPPORT
Neptune’s chief executive Pete Jones said he hoped the company’s support for the charity would spur others to back the campaign.
“We’re proud to be working with The Childhood Trust and are encouraging others to support the appeal.
“Our colleagues will also volunteer and work hand-in-hand with the trust’s teams.
“If we – and those who join the appeal – give our time as well, we will help more children.
“With Christmas just around the corner, what could be more important than that?”
