A HOMECARE provider has launched an innovative scheme to raise money for a children’s charity.
Westmorland Homecare has published a post on its Facebook site highlighting the work of Action for Children – and will donate 50p to the charity for every share the post receives between today and July 5.
“We not only support and care for our elderly and frail clients and their families but we also strive to support the amazing younger generation,” said Shannen Aplin, Westmorland Homecare’s care coordinator – recruitment.
“Action for Children is an amazing charity with a caring ethos which is very similar to ours at Westmorland Homecare. We hope the Facebook post will help to raise awareness of this outstanding organisation and also raise money for it.”
Action for Children protects and supports children and young people by providing practical and emotional care and support. It aims to make sure their voices are heard and it campaigns to bring lasting improvements to their lives.
Shannen said the team at Westmorland Homecare’s Kendal office had come up with the fund-raising idea, adding: “With the cost of living so high at the moment it can be children who are affected as well as adults so that is one of the reasons why we chose to raise money for Action for Children.”
