| The
annual Earls Court and Olympia Group staff quiz night, recently
held at Olympia, raised £2,100 for charity KIDS, which help
disabled children in the Hammersmith and Fulham area.
The money raised will provide opportunities for children with disabilities at KIDS' Michael Williams playground in Fulham and will fund an after school club for seven weeks, for up to 410 child visits. The club's activities include drama sessions and music workshops as well as healthy eating and cooking lessons. KIDS are a national charity dedicated to helping children with disabilities and their families. The charity currently helps over 6,000 children and aims to enable children with disabilities and other special needs to develop their skills and abilities. KIDS own a number of playgrounds in London, with their Michael Williams playground being one of the busiest. Debbie Law, Customer Service Director at Olympia and organiser of the quiz night comments: "Our quiz night is an event held annually for employees of companies based at Earls Court and Olympia with the aim of getting everyone together for a fun evening, while at the same time raising money for a good cause. We chose to donate the money raised to KIDS because we believe they do an excellent job in working with disabled children in the local community." Jane Lovegrove, Event Coordinator, KIDS, added: "The £2,100 raised by the staff at EC&O will provide amazing opportunities for children with disabilities at our Michael Williams playground in Fulham. "Thanks
to kind donation, this year, in addition to sustaining its existing
services, the Michael Williams playground has been able to expand
its work to include children from the Hammersmith & Fulham
Pupil Referral Units." |
