Summer charity events raise funds for Nightsafe
30 August 2008
Staff at CXL raised over £135 and had lots of fun too when they held a charity carwash and BBQ for local charity Blackburn Nightsafe. The two events were masterminded by CXL's Vacancy and Matching and IT teams with the help of colleagues from across the organisation. With the help of a colourful banner created by the children at Time Out Club in Euxton, a donation from local supermarket Morrisons and a helping hand from local media Rock FM and the Lancashire Evening Post, the two events attracted more than 70 supporters and were part of CXL’s bid to generate as many funds as possible for Nightsafe, CXL’s nominated charity for 2008/09.
