Construction company donates £1,800 worth of old mobile phones
Howard Lake | 23 June 2008 | News
Shepherd Construction has donated 180 old mobile phones collected from its company headquarters in York and donated them to children’s charity ChildLine. Once recycled, the phones will be worth £1,800 to the charity.
The company has also raised an extra £340 so far for ChildLine by donating £1 for every Employee Satisfaction survey that has been returned by staff to the head office.
Vaughan Burnand, Shepherd Construction’s chief executive said: “Recycling old mobile phones is a simple, yet effective way for companies to help charities, and therefore it made sense to turn ours into a useful fundraiser for the charity.”
