After the recent launch of an anti bullying awareness campaign with Gok Wan, (star of C4’s ‘How to Look Good Naked’) and Specsavers, Kidscape has just announced a new fundraising partnership with Quotes4Charity CIC, the first social business to work in financial services.
In the last year alone, more than two million children and parents contacted Kidscape about bullying and child safety – many of those children have been suicidal. John Mulkerrin, founder of Quotes4Charity CIC said “Kidscape is there on the ground, keeping children safe from harm. We’re honoured to be working with them and look forward to generating funds to help them continue their work”
Quotes4Charity CIC, whose key aim is to develop the company for the benefit of children both here and overseas, offer fee free help and advice on mortgages and protection. Every time a supporter uses their service, they receive a commission from which they cover their costs and generate a donation to charity.
Donations to charity average in excess of £100*; just £500 is needed to ensure an advisor can help over 100 families a week via the helpline. The partnership offers real potential whilst providing a useful service to supporters.
Brenda Stafford, Development Manager at Kidscape, said ‘We are delighted to be able to partner Quotes4Charity CIC. Not only will their clients receive the help they need with their finances, it will enable more children and parents get the help they need through our helpline and workshops’
