Encephalitis Society chosen for 2015 fundraising
14th April 2015

The VEKA UK GROUP has named the Encephalitis Society as its chosen charity for 2015.

Gabriela Hammond, Head of Human Resources said: “This is a cause that's close to our hearts so The Veka UK Group is dedicating a full year's support to the society.

“Besides events and activities within the company, there's lots more planned that we're welcoming customers and suppliers to get involved too. For the more active among us, there are charity runs, sponsored bike rides and the annual Veka golf day. And, for those who enjoy their sport more from the comfort of an armchair, the Euro football sweepstake always proves a popular money-spinner!
“We've been selling various goodies – from pin badges and wrist bands to cook books and even cuddly toys – and, with such a diligent workforce, we're finding cones of sweeties prove an ever-popular energy-boosting treat!”

Fundraising started in January with many staff members staying 'dry' for the month in return for sponsorship money, then March's Network Veka AGM saw members donate over £700 to use the 70s-themed props. Network Veka Office Manager Susan Lunney and Karen Galawan, PA to the Sales and Marketing Director teamed up to bake and decorated cupcakes.
