This year instead of sending Christmas cards, Clitheroe based schoolwear supplier, Trutex, has donated £500 cash plus children’s games and toys, on behalf of their customers and suppliers, to Manchester Children’s Hospital’s Charity.
Commenting on the donation, Clare Rix, Trutex marketing director said: “Like many companies, we seem to spend considerable amounts of money on designing, printing and posting Christmas cards, so this year after discussing with our customers and suppliers we have collectively decided that the budget should be donated to a worthwhile cause and one which plays such an important role in providing specialist healthcare services for children from the north west.”
Jayne Moore, Manchester Children’s Hospital’s Charity’s fundraising and communications manager commented: “We are delighted that Trutex has made such a generous donation, charitable funds help us to buy new and updated equipment and help us to improve the hospital environment for the children and their families. The fabulous toys donated for our play area, will help to provide a home from home experience for our children.”
