(London).- The first charity beneficiaries of 2024 are Kidney Research, The Stroke Association, homelessness organisations St Mungo’s and Centre Point alongside lesser-known organisations Action for Humanity and Momentum whose mission is to provide support for families whose children are facing a life-challenging condition.
Tony Boulton, MERKUR UK’s Director of Public and Political Relations said. “2024 will be the third anniversary of our MERKUR Initiative social project which we created with a commitment to support a wide range of charities and good causes nominated by colleagues and venue customers.
“We set ourselves a target of helping 50 organisations a year and I’m delighted that we are ahead of schedule.
“Official data shows that following COVID more than 3m people have reduced or stopped their charitable donations and for smaller regional organisations such as Momentum Children’s charity every donation makes a real difference.”
Victoria Futcher, Corporate Fundraiser at Momentum underlined the importance of private sector donations stating: “On behalf of everyone at Momentum Children’s Charity and the many families with seriously ill children that we support, I am writing to thank everyone at MERKUR UK for this generous donation.”
Tony Boulton added: “It’s important to reference the support of Milton Keynes based Sarah Gillett who collates all of the nominations we receive, undertakes due diligence, liaises with all of the MERKUR Initiative supported organisations and undertakes the post-donation follow-ups which are central to the process.”
