Companies in Aberdeen have been making a difference this festive season, with several sizeable donations to support children with cancer and their families.
When BG Group’s offshore team on the Lomond Platform reached a safety milestone in December 2011, they nominated CLIC Sargent to receive a £1,000 donation in celebration of their achievement. BP made sure CLIC Sargent benefitted after their annual Christmas party, raising £2,288 in the raffle. And Craig Group ended the year by supporting the charity with a very generous £2,000 donation. Framo Engineering decided to donate to CLIC Sargent instead of sending Christmas cards, and raised an impressive £300. Finally Aker Solutions made a donation of £1,000 to CLIC Sargent after their clients Nexen asked for a donation to be made instead of spending the cash on festive corporate entertainment.
Jo Robinson, Community Fundraising Manager said: "We have welcomed many new corporate supporters in 2011, and we are particularly grateful to have so much support at Christmas time, when families dealing with childhood cancer need us more than ever. I would like to thank all the businesses that made donations in December and I look forward to working with these companies and other new supporters in 2012."
