Nottingham public relations agency Tank PR has been chosen to
handle the publicity for the NSPCC's Nottingham Child's Voice
Appeal Board.
Tank PR will help publicise news of the fundraising efforts of
Nottingham organisations as they help to raise £3.3 million
towards the Appeal, which aims to develop the NSPCC Helpline, for
adults with a concern about a child, and ChildLine, for children in
danger or distress.
The agency was selected for the role by Nottingham entrepreneur,
Andrew Springhall, who is deputy chairman of the East Midlands
Child's Voice Appeal Steering Group and heads up its Board for
Nottinghamshire. He said:
"It is a tragedy that some children and young people trying to
contact the ChildLine base in Nottingham don't get through due to
lack of resources. The Child's Voice Appeal aims to expand the
helpline so that children in the East Midlands get the help and
advice they need. Last year the base counselled over 9,000 children
but we won't be happy until all calls are answered."
