Frodo Kids agree new Fundraising partnership
Published November 17th, 2008
Frodo Kids and Quotes4Charity CIC, the first social business in financial services, have just announced a strategic fundraising partnership. Working together, Frodo hope to raise awareness and funds for the Institutional Transformation programme, their most ambitious project to date.
According to a recent UNICEF Regional Network for Children (RNC) report, there are approximately 1.5 million children in institutions in Central and Eastern Europe, 150,000 more than in 1999. Whilst Frodo believe reintegration into the community is the highest priority for these children, the Institutional Transformation programme will focus on helping to improve the care, conditions and prospects for the 26,000 children still in institutions in Romania.
Heidi Hennessy, fundraising manager at Frodo said “We are hugely excited to be working with Quotes 4 Charity and believe the partnership will present an excellent opportunity not only to promote F.R.O.D.O.’s work but help to raise awareness for the programmes that we are developing and running in developing countries to medically treat disabled orphans and abandoned children.”
Quotes4Charity CIC, whose key aim is to develop the company for the benefit of children both here in the UK and overseas, offer charity supporters fee free mortgage and protection advice. Every time a supporter uses their service, they receive a commission from which they cover their costs and generate a donation to charity.
With donations averaging in excess of £100*, the partnership offers real potential to raise funds whilst providing a valuable service to supporters. Geraldine Mulkerrin, charity consultant at Quotes4Charity CIC said ‘It’s a fantastic programme and we look forward to helping Frodo achieve their aims.’
