Commulite Presents £1,700 to Action for Children in London as part of their “Brighter Futures” initiative

Commulite recently made a donation to Action for Children, presenting the charity with a cheque for £1,700. Action for Children is a national charity that has been working in local communities throughout the UK to protect and support the young and vulnerable for over 145 years. They run over 650 services, from children’s centres to intensive family support, from fostering and adoption to respite care for children with disabilities. The money donated by Commulite will be used to support Camden Short Breaks, a purpose-built play centre that provides a fun place for children with special needs in Camden and Islington to grow, learn and make friends. The service also enables parents and families to get some valuable respite from the demands of daily care, enabling them to devote time to other siblings, work or simply catch up household chores. This is not a one off contribution either, as Commulite donates £1 to Action for Children for every luminaire they supply, ensuring it is spent in the same Borough as the new lighting installation. This is part of their Brighter Futures initiative, which supports a number of charitable causes aimed at improving the futures of young people who live in the communities they serve. Paul Bishop and James Baldwin of Commulite travelled to Camden to present the cheque, and were given a tour of the play centre by Rachel Cassidy and Katie Grimwood. “We were amazed by the Action for Children Project, and the wide range of experiences that they offer,” said James, “We are proud to be helping such a brilliant scheme” “We’d like to thank Rachel and Katie for taking the time to show us around and explain the services and facilities to us all – the project looks absolutely fantastic!”   For more information about Camden Short Breaks visit www.actionforchildren.org.uk or call Rachel Cassidy on 0207 278 7966.
