Network Rail chooses CLIC Sargent as its charity of choice for two years
Howard Lake | 2 April 2014 | News
Network Rail will support CLIC Sargent for the next two years after its staff voted for the cancer charity for children and young people as its Charity of Choice.
Staff across the UK will volunteer their time for the charity and run and get involved in fundraising events. Sponsored runs, cycles, abseils and swims are being planned.
The partnership will emphasise the role both organisations play in connecting people and the difference this makes to their lives.
Samantha Pitt, Network Rail Charity Panel Chair, said:
“We look forward to working in partnership with CLIC Sargent in supporting and getting to know better the work that this wonderful charity does in providing support to children and young people with cancer.”
The charity had used social media channels to ask supporters and the public who worked at Network Rail to vote for them.
