The first charity beneficiaries of 2024 are Kidney Research, The Stroke Association, homelessness organizations St Mungo’s and Centre Point alongside lesser-known organizations Action for Humanity and Momentum, whose mission is to provide support for families whose children are facing a life-challenging condition.
Tony Boulton, MERKUR UK’s Director of Public and Political Relations, said: “2024 will be the third anniversary of our MERKUR Initiative social project, which we created with a commitment to support a wide range of charities and good causes nominated by colleagues and venue customers.
“We set ourselves a target of helping 50 organizations a year, and I’m delighted that we are ahead of schedule.
“Official data shows that following COVID more than 3 million people have reduced or stopped their charitable donations, and for smaller regional organizations such as Momentum Children’s Charity, every donation makes a real difference.”
Victoria Futcher, Corporate Fundraiser at Momentum, underlined the importance of private sector donations, stating: “On behalf of everyone at Momentum Children’s Charity and the many families with seriously ill children that we support, I am writing to thank everyone at MERKUR UK for this generous donation.”
Tony Boulton added: “It’s important to reference the support of Milton Keynes-based Sarah Gillett who collates all of the nominations we receive, undertakes due diligence, liaises with all of the MERKUR Initiative supported organizations, and undertakes the post-donation follow-ups which are central to the process.”
