C&C and its delegates dig deep for kiddies’ charity

Once again, C&C Training embarked on a charity fundraiser for children’s charity KidsOut asking all delegates to ‘dig deep’!

C&C has been selling cuddly toy dragons called ‘Diglot’ to all who have attended training courses throughout the year here in Leighton and at its sister-training centre in Bury St Edmunds. The company also had some cheeky little monkeys to rehome as well!

As a result of their fundraising efforts, £356 was raised towards the KidsOut Toy Box Appeal.

KidsOut’s Toy Box appeal provides disadvantaged children with toys who may not otherwise receive anything – not just at Christmas. Many have had to leave the family home & national statistics show a rise at this time of year. Each Toy Box is filled with games, books, and a teddy to cuddle. KidsOut maintain ‘it gives children a sense of normality, making the world seem a kinder place where someone cares’. It is the only UK charity dealing with children at this level.

On a local level, Charity Executive Sandra Doherty said that there had been a rise in the number of children needing toys having been rehomed in refuges this year making supplies low. She described C&C’s fundraising as “fantastic”.

Commercial Director of C&C Training, Charlie Cadman said: “It is with great pleasure that we have been able to raise money for KidsOut at such an important time of the year for those children who are less fortunate than my own.  Thank you to all of our clients who have donated to help support our charity of the year.  It is such a worthwhile cause – I hope the money raised goes some way in helping smiles to appear on little faces.”
