BRIGHTON & HOVE NSPCC BUSINESS GROUP
Why form a business group in this area?
Apart from generosity of general public making regular and one off donations, and some ad hoc fundraising undertaken by some small businesses there is no NSPCC volunteer group presence in the city to help promote the NSPCC’s cause, very few businesses actually citing the NSPCC as their chosen charity and even fewer events in the NSPCC’s name in Brighton and Hove.
What is the NSPCC’s vision?
To have a society where all children are safe, loved and can fulfil their true potential. That includes children in the Brighton and Hove areas too!
