Summer BBQ for a good cause


Frances and Graham write...... even in these difficult economic times it is important that businesses demonstrate some corporate social responsibility. Recognition Marketing and PR has adopted a North East charity to champion.

To launch our relationship with Stockton-based A Way Out (At Risk Woman And Youth Outreach), we teamed up with our client Arlington Financial to hold a summer barbeque.

The event was held at the Elwick home of Allan Cook, director at Hartlepool-based Arlington Financial. A Way Out, which helps vulnerable women and children, and its founder, Jessie Joe Jacobs, recently won the Bank of Scotland’s Social Entrepreneur of the year Award.

Singer Hayley McKay, from Darlington, performed at the event. It was attended by more than 60 people and we raised in nearly £300 from the raffle. It goes to show that corporate social responsibility can be fun!
