Charities boosted by LTI support

A number of local charities are set to benefit thanks to generous staff at London taxi manufacturers, LTI Vehicles.

Over £5,000 was raised by the 450-strong firm, through an extensive range of fundraising activities that included a golf tournament and raffle.

The money, which was raised throughout 2007, was presented to five chosen charities that included NSPCC, Myton Hospice, Acorns Children’s Hospice, Alzheimer’s and Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance. Each of the nominated charities will use their funding to support a number of projects that include:

NSPCC - Boole House Family Support Service; ensuring vulnerable children receive help to protect them from abuse

Myton Hospice Appeal – contributing to the build of a much needed 20 bed hospice in Coventry

Acorns Children's Hospice – helping to provide vital nursing care to chronically ill children who require round-the-clock support

Alzheimer’s – providing new equipment to assist people with dementia

Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance - enabling a response to an emergency call

Peter Shillcock, Managing Director at LTI Vehicles said: “We’re delighted to be helping so many local charities. These charities do some excellent work within our community and we are only too pleased to offer our support. A big thank you must go out to all of the staff for their huge efforts in raising such an impressive figure.”
