International financial and charitable organisation Foresters are launching the first radio appeal in aid of the Association of Children’s Hospices (ACH).
Foresters are launching the appeal in National Children’s Hospice Week, which runs from 20 to 27 September 2003.
The ‘Foresters Call in 4 Kids’ radio appeal supports eight local children’s hospices throughout the UK with a
goal of raising over £20,000. Local radio stations will be airing promotional advertisements throughout Children’s Hospice Week, highlighting the needs of children’s hospices.

All week, Foresters members and staff are
volunteering time to answer the phones and take pledges.
As a thank you to those who make a donation, Foresters are running a free
prize draw for a weekend trip to Disneyland Paris for two adults and two children. Callers will be asked a simple tie-breaker question and their name will automatically be entered into the prize draw.
