Richard Mussell, Managing Director at Rund commented: “We believe every employee should have a say in where our charity donations go, as everyone contributes to our business operations. Each charity on our 35th anniversary donation list means something special to someone, or various individuals in the business and that makes our contribution even more worthwhile.
“We are proud to continue supporting causes which do so much for communities across the UK. Our support aligns with one of our core company values, Collaboration, as these incredible organisations cannot continue to exist without the help of others.”
