**The OnBrand Group is supporting Comic Relief this year for the second year running,
providing pre-recorded messages to help manage the high volume of calls received
before and during its Sport Relief event.**

Sport Relief runs from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th March this year, and call centres
have until Tuesday 15th March to request the free messages, which will help support
the call centres taking donations during the event by reducing caller frustration
and lowering the level of call abandonment.

Rick Kirkham, customer experience manage at OnBrand said:
