Howard Lake | 3 September 2007 | News
Kwik-Fit Insurance has been awarded recognition from the Institute of Fundraising following the company’s achievements in payroll giving.
The insurance intermediary, which currently has over 950 employees, was awarded the recognition, initially at bronze level for the money given so far in 2007 by staff. This has been given a huge boost by the introduction of the company’s ‘donate an hours pay’ scheme which launched back in January to raise money for it’s Charity of the Year, Tak Tent.
The scheme has so far raised nearly £20,000 for the Glasgow-based cancer support charity and has had an impressive uptake with over 600 hundred staff donating an hours wage.
