Veolia fundraising

This is the fifth year that Veolia Environmental Services, which manages the sites in partnership with East Sussex County Council and Brighton & Hove City Council, has supported the charity - during which time a grand total of over 13,000 has been raised.

Over the years, the 14 recycling sites and Veolia staff have raised money in a number of ways, including fancy dress, tombolas, raffles and bric-a-brac sales.

Keith McGurk, Managing Director for Veolia South Downs, commented on the success: "We are delighted to have been able to raise so much money for Children In Need and would like to extend a huge thank you to all our site users for donating so generously."
