Staff from Arun Direct customer service team at Arun District Council have been busy raising money for the Chairman’s Charity, Enable Me.
Chairman of Arun District Council, Councillor Andy Cooper paid a visit to the call centre on Monday 14 December to thank staff for the £70 they have raised for his chosen charity. This is in addition to just over £200 raised by staff at Arun District Council in November, also by means of a dress down day and ever popular cake sale!
Cllr Cooper said “What pleasure to be able to visit Arun Direct and meet the generous staff who have made a contribution each Friday to raise funds for Enable Me. Not only was I able to thank the team in person, but was able to spend some time with them and see the hard work they do from the minute the phone lines open in the morning. They handle a wide variety and high volume of calls each day so for them to make the time for fundraising is fantastic and much appreciated”.
Enable me, based in Littlehampton is a not-for-profit organisation working in the community to raise disability awareness. They provide high quality services, designed and delivered by disabled people, including Disability Awareness Workshops for Schools, Colleges and Businesses; Short Breaks Clubs for disabled young people and adults; and volunteering opportunities for disabled people to learn new skills.
