THEY say charity begins at home but staff at Firstsource Solution centres across the UK and Ireland have raised almost £12,000 through their fundraising activities in the past year.

Clic Sargent was also Firstsource’s corporate Christmas charity and received an additional £1,000 from the company.

Fraida Silver, Marketing Director for Firstsource Solutions said: “We are very proud of all of our teams across the UK and Ireland and in particular the effort and enthusiasm that our local teams here have put in to raising funds for several worthwhile causes.

“Supporting charitable causes at a local, national and international level is an important aspect of the company’s CSR policy. Our teams are always generous in showing support through various events each year. These initiatives are a good way for staff to create a positive impact at their workplace and within the surrounding community.”
