Child Action support
20th August 2019

VEKA UK GROUP has donated £5,000 to Child Action North West (CANW) to contribute to the work the charity carries out with young people throughout Lancashire and beyond.

Head of HR Gabriela Hammond explained: “We are very proud to support CANW, a charity that passionately believes every child and young person has the right to achieve their full potential. It provides solutions for a wide range of complex problems, working with more than 6,000 children, young people and families in the North West every year.

“The £5,000 was raised in a number of ways throughout the year and we hope that this donation will help in the ongoing work tackling drug and alcohol abuse, self-esteem problems, youth crime, family issues and more.”

Sue Cotton, CEO of CANW replied: “Every year we work with around 7000 vulnerable children and families across the region providing a wide range of services including counselling and school and family support, help with education and employment, early help for young people in trouble who are becoming involved in offending and finding foster families for those children who cannot live at home. We know that children can achieve amazing things given the right support, thank you for helping us do that.”
