Insurer appeals for nominations

Each June the insurance broker’s staff votes to support a local charity for a year (July – June). The company’s staff fund-raises throughout the year and also donates its time and expertise in support of the chosen charity.

To be eligible for nomination, a charity has to be:

• a legally registered charity

• local to the Bexhill/Hastings area

• without national funding

• in need of practical, professional and financial help

Jay Wootten, chair of Hastings Direct’s charity committee said: “As a company we are committed to our local community and seek to actively support it. When we adopt a charity of the year we look to do more than just fund-raise, we also offer practical hands on support in a number of areas from labouring, to IT, training and HR support.

“We work closely with our charity partner to help it deliver key projects that require both financial and practical support, which simply would not be possible without the support of the community of our staff.

“If you feel your charity would benefit from our support and you would like to be nominated for our staff vote please contact me via email at [email protected] before May 5.”.
