BCR Supports Meningitis Trust Through Big Give
BCR donated £500 to Meningitis Trust as part of The Big Give Christmas Challenge in December. Thanks to The Big Give’s match funding system the donation was actually worth £740 to the charity.
Laura Williams, Corporate Fundraiser for the Meningitis Trust, thanked BCR and explained that a donation of this value could make an important contribution to the work carried out by the Trust. £740 could be used to fund an average programme of face-to-face counselling for somebody who has been left struggling to cope with the impact of meningitis or it could pay for 60 hours of sign language classes to enable a child who has suffered hearing impairment as a result of meningitis, to communicate better with their parents. Alternatively it could be used to fund their freephone nurse-led help line for more than 48 hours.
BCR’s Managing Director Maxine Sault said she was delighted to be able to support such a worthy cause and looked forward to continuing to work with Meningitis Trust.

150 tons of Toys Recycled through our Toy Banks
Local Authorities have championed the innovative new initiative of our Toy Banks. We have managed to collect over 150 tons of toys for re-use. The scheme not only provides a new life for unwanted toys, it provides welcome relief to the waste stream of the local authorities.
By removing the toys from the waste stream we reduce resources required to process the waste, ultimately reducing the amount of rubbish sent to landfill. All saving the tax payer money and reducing the impact on the environment.
