Carrentals' Book & Donate days to benefit StreetSmart
Howard Lake | 9 January 2012 | News
Car rental comparison site Carrentals.co.uk is to hold a series of ‘Book & Donate’ days this Spring, on which it will donate £1 for every booking made on its site to StreetSmart, the campaign which raises funds for over 90 homeless charities in 19 cities across the UK. The first event takes place on 11 January.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, said; “This is the first of our ‘Book & Donate’ days, with the next one planned for the 25th January, and then on a number of dates through February and March. For every booking made on each ‘Book & Donate’ day we will donate £1, so it won’t cost our customers anything to help raise funds.”
Carrentals.co.uk helped StreetSmart last months with its 12 days of Christmas’ giveaway. The company donated the total cost of the prizes it gave away to StreetSmart.
The main StreetSmart campaign runs every November and December with restaurants across the UK (including famous names such as Nobu, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay) opting to add a voluntary £1 donation to the bottom of each table bill.
Since its launch in 1998, StreetSmart has raised and distributed over £4.7 million to support a range of work including education and training initiatives, supported housing and health issues.
