You might already be aware that, this year, our chosen charity is EYESeeMe. The charity was founded by Rebecca Robyns, franchise owner of InXpress Hull, and since we announced the partnership, donations have been flooding in from far and wide.
To ring in the New Year, UK Mail have made a £250 donation to our cause and we would like to thank them for their ongoing support. InXpress and UK Mail have a long-term relationship and it’s great to have support from such a large organisation who are willing to donate generously. Their donation means that another two children in Thailand will be given access to local education that they otherwise would not receive. This is invaluable and we know that our franchisees will continue to support us to help us reach our goal of helping 50 children in Thailand into full-time education.
Throughout November, our franchisees donated a penny for every shipment they sent and many of our franchisees have been taking part in sporting and local events in order to raise money for EYESeeMe. Craig Atkins, franchise owner at InXpress Reading, has been training for the Manchester Marathon and will be donating the money he raises to the charity. Plus, InXpress Head Office has also made a donation which brings the total money raised within our network £4,076.42 and that’s only a few months in! We’re looking forward to seeing what 2017 brings and the events that our franchisees get involved in in the name of charity.
