The short month of February is over already and this month we went back to supporting 3 charities and showing our support via the gold coins!

We raised a very healthy £219.15 in February which has pushed the co-operative wall total up to £4966 - almost at the £5k mark. And this is a significant benchmarking moment as Currencies Direct employees have now been regularly supporting charities for 1 year. To almost reach £5000 in one year of contributing from an office of just 50 people is inspiring. I wax lyrical about the commitment and enthusiasm that has sprung from Currencies Direct to anyone outside this office that will listen. Its hard to believe that just 12 months ago we didn’t do anything, and now I can look at a wall of thank you letters from charities praising our good work and the help that the money raised has been to them!

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this a success, I am very proud.

So, which charity was your favourite in February. The breakdown is below:

Shelter £71.99
Streetchild £81.68
Mencap £65.48

So February was close, but Streetchild just came out on top. The co-operative wall has been updated with the new charities that we will be supporting in March and these are:

Help a London Child
Born Free Foundation
Epilepsy Research

As always, click back here for regular updates on the additional fundraising activies that we get up to!
