Totaljobs.com staff donate time for the QPR Community Trust
Howard Lake | 6 May 2011 | News
Five volunteering staff from Totaljobs Group spent their bank holiday weekend taking part in the ‘Tiger Feet’ 15 mile fund raising walk from Loftus Road to Vicarage Road (Watford’s stadium). The team raised over £1800 for the Tiger Cubs, QPR Community Trust’s disability and Downs Syndrome clubs.
Totaljobs.com, a leading jobs website, has an innovative partnership with Championship Football Club, Queens Park Rangers (QPR), and their charitable arm, QPR in the Community Trust. The partnership is the largest corporate sponsorship deal that the community trust has seen with £25k of charitable funding to be donated over the next year.
The partnership will seek to help 12-24 year olds and over-35’s in the local West London area improve their employability and job prospects. As a leading source of insight into the jobs market, the project will see the skills of Totaljobs.com own employees matched with the local experience of QPR Community Trust members to boost the skills and confidence of local job seekers in CV writing, job hunting and interview techniques.
