Nightsafe Year of Meals Appeal launched
9 June 2008
CXL has pledged to raise A Year of Meals for Blackburn Nightsafe, its chosen charity for 2008/09.
Nightsafe is a small local charity based in Blackburn with Darwen that provides holistic services to homeless young people aged 16 to 24.
Over the next 12 months, CXL staff aim to raise £2,500 representing a year's-worth of meals for a Nightsafe resident.
Nightsafe was established in 1990 and has four projects offering a variety of housing options and services to young people including an emergency night shelter, 24 hour supported housing, a 16 unit final step project and an activity based day centre.
"Nightsafe relies on support from the local community to enable it to carry out its work with young homeless people" said CXL Managing Director Karen O'Donoghue.
"By adopting Nightsafe as its charity, CXL will be helping to provide accommodation and support to young people who would otherwise be on the street".
Paula Kaniuk, Chief Executive of Nightsafe said:
“We were thrilled and delighted to be nominated. We are a small charity and have close links with CXL and Personal Advisers in our work and appreciate the partnership work and expertise hugely".
