UPPORTS THE RNLI NRL SUPPORTS LIFEBOAT APPEAL VIA
ALIGRA’S KNOCK-OUT DONATION TO SWINDON BOXING CLUB VIA Scrappers, a charity that supports young people in Swindon, has been given a boost after receiving a £500 donation from recruitment specialist Aligra. Scrappers was set up by former ABA boxing champion Paul Rogers and British kickboxing champion Andy Brown in conjunction with Swindon Children’s Scrapstore with the aim of inspiring and motivating young adults.
NONSTOP STAFF POWER ON THROUGH VIA Twice a year, pan-European recruitment firm NonStop gathers all employees from across Europe in its Prague office for management meetings and a themed ‘powerday’, which sees everyone dress up and work hard to win some amazing prizes – a trip for two to Athens, for example! The most recent powerday had an Olympics theme and was followed by the annual (rather late) Christmas party and awards ceremony – a Great Gatsby theme this year.
NRL Group’s Egremont branch supports the RNLI’s Workington Shannon Class lifeboat appeal with a donation of £2.5k. This donation is part of NRL’s ongoing commitment to the local Cumbrian community and the essential work of the RNLI.
