Veka UK Group has donated £5,000 to Child Action North West (CANW) to contribute to the valuable work the charity carries out with young people in Lancashire and beyond.
Veka UK Group’s head of HR, Gabriela Hammond, said: “We are very proud to support CANW, a charity that passionately believes every child and young person has the right to achieve their full potential. It provides solutions for a wide range of complex problems, working with over 6,000 children, young people and families in the North West every year.
“The £5,000 was raised in a number of ways throughout the year and we hope that this donation will help in the ongoing work tackling drug and alcohol abuse, self-esteem problems, youth crime, family issues and more.”
Sue Cotton, CEO of CANW said: “Every day brings new challenges to the lives of vulnerable children and young people across the North West. Thank you very much to Veka UK Group and your employees for your extremely generous donation. Your efforts will allow us to help to strengthen and support children and young people to lead healthy and meaningful lives. Every year we work with around 7,000 vulnerable children and families across the region providing a wide range of services including counselling and school and family support, help with education and employment, early help for young people in trouble who are becoming involved in offending and finding foster families for those children who cannot live at home.”
