STAFF at Nottingham-based Domestic & General (D&G) call
centre have raised over £430 for the victims of the Haiti
earthquake.
Staff at the Talbot Street call centre organised a dress down at
work day in order to raise funds for the appeal.
The Earthquake, which measured 7.2 on the Richter scale, has
caused widespread devastation, and people are desperately in need
of water, food and medical supplies.
Deborah Martin, operations manager at D&G said: "We all felt
so strongly about helping the people in Haiti, we wanted to do
something that could be organised quickly and give our staff the
opportunity to make a donation.
"We are pleased with the amount we have managed to raise and the
D&G offices collectively in England have raised £1970.75,
which is a great amount."
Taking into account the generosity of staff and the severity of
the situation in Haiti the D&G Charity Committee has agreed to
match the amount raised to further boost appeal funds making the
grand total £4000. The money will be donated to the British
Red Cross who is helping with the relief effort.
