Land Rover Employees Raise Funds For Red Cross Appeal Week

13 May 2010

This week, Land Rover employees have been promoting Red Cross Appeal Week throughout the Company's sites in the West Midlands, to help raise funds for the volunteer-led humanitarian organisation.

Employees were encouraged to get involved in a number of fund raising activities including a sponsored 'rowathon', raffle, clothes donations, first aid training, shuttle bus donations and a Krispy Kreme doughnut sale. 

Funds of over £3,500 were raised which will be donated to the British Red Cross for initiatives that will reach vulnerable people in the local community and throughout the UK.
