Ethical communications agency Upward Curve PR has chosen Prime, a charity helping
people over the age of fifty set up in business for themselves, as its Charity of
the Year for 2009/10.

 

Upward Curve PR works to promote social, environmental and economic issues. Helen
Ashley, its Director, said: “We were overwhelmed with 100 applications from some
fantastic smaller not-for-profits including charities, social enterprises and voluntary
groups, all needing professional PR, marketing or media support.”

The agency is now calling on other PR agencies to provide pro bono support for charities
and voluntary organisations. It has listed on its website the unsuccessful applicants
who could benefit from this kind of help.

 

Upward Curve PR has been adopting a Charity of the Year for the last six years and
has used the opportunity to provide support for organisations tackling a range of
issues from foetal alcohol syndrome in the UK to the growing numbers of street children
in Nepal.
