Charity donation adds 'Cred' to Payne Security

RELEASE REF: PA/2008/054
ISSUE DATE: 12 January 2009
Payne Security has supplied complimentary lanyards to UK charity The Cred Foundation (www.cred.org.uk) to support a life-changing project in Ethiopia.
‘The Zone’ is an initiative run by The Cred Foundation (www.cred.org.uk) that takes young people from all over the UK to assist an international project called IHA-UDP (www.ihaudp.org), which is run by, and for, impoverished local people in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). The children – representing a wide spectrum of schools, regions and backgrounds – spend a week providing activities, games and sports for children in the slums of Addis Ababa.
The Cred Foundation needed lanyards to carry the name badges used by the participating children and teachers for the latest ‘Zone’ trip – held in October – and placed an order with Payne Security. Yet when the company heard about the worthy cause, Payne Security decided to supply 50 promotional lanyards free of charge.
“We’re always happy to help good causes, and ‘The Zone’ is of real benefit both to the people of Addis Ababa and those travelling from the UK,” explains Richard Burhouse, Business Development Manager at Payne Security.
Simon Paylor, Project Support & Operations at The Cred Foundation, confirms that, “’The Zone’ is not just about helping people in poverty, although the teams do make a huge difference to the communities they serve. It’s also about developing young people from the UK, no matter what their background: increasing self-esteem and confidence, developing practical skills, and widening horizons.
“We are extremely pleased to have the support of Payne Security for this important and life-changing project,” he adds.
