The food collection is the first of numerous initiatives planned by the 900-strong workforce, including a stunning Teacup and Candlelight Ball scheduled for October which it is hoped will raise tens of thousands of pounds for the community fund.
Steelite Managing Director, Neil Hooper explain to local news : “Steelite International is one of the city’s leading employers and we recognize that we have a responsibility to support not only our own loyal employees but also the community where so many of them live. More than 60 per cent of our workforce lives within just five miles of our headquarters, so we want to support initiatives close to their hearts and activities which can really make a big difference to the lives of families right across the city. We have consulted with our employees and have selected four key areas where we believe we can make a difference: in the areas of youth aspiration and education; supporting the elderly; Community Regeneration and encouraging new ceramic entrepreneurs.”
Steelite International has launched the fund with an initial £10,000 donation. To read the entire article, go here: http://6towns.co.uk/news/2013/07/food-bank-collection-kickstarts-new-community-fund-steelite-international#.Ue-tP42sii0
