Arras People Donation
posted: 27/05/2009
Arras People, a national project management recruitment agency based in Heywood, (between Rochdale and Bury, north of Manchester), has made a £500 donation to support our services. Dan Strayer and Nicola Thorp of Arras People toured our Ardwick offices, meeting volunteers and staff, and presented Jim Vann, George House Trust’s chair, with a cheque during their visit on 20 May.
The donation came after Arras People had conducted a series of Project Management Careers Clinics for nearly a year. Arras People asked for charitable donations for this valuable service. The total sum of the donations made for each clinic were rounded up by Arras to support four different charities based around the Greater Manchester area, including George House Trust.
Nicola Thorp, a consultant with Arras People, commented,
‘I feel pleased to be donating to a worthwhile charity which is tackling an issue that often gets overlooked. I didn’t realise George House Trust do as much as they do, and I think most people wouldn’t be aware, for instance, of the support services provided by George House Trust. I can speak for Arras People when I say that we’re honoured to contribute in whatever positive manner we are capable of doing.’
Jim Vann, chair of George House Trust, said of Arras People’s visit,
‘The opportunity to talk to the forward thinking staff at Arras People about our services is a fantastic way to connect up the voluntary and the private sectors. We’re hugely grateful to Arras People for their donation of £500 to support our work.’
