This year’s Comic Relief night went on without a hitch and the event was bigger than ever here at PCMS, with more volunteers joining us in our contact centre to handle donation calls than ever before.
The total that PCMS volunteers raised on the phones reached £64,386.00 and our volunteers handled an astounding 1745 calls over the course of the evening. In addition to the donations handled on the phones, PCMS staff also raised the amount of £1,112.85 through a dress down day, raffle and other activities all in the name of ‘do something funny for money’.
Volunteers were involved from across the company and the local community and we were thrilled to receive a visit from ‘Sky Blue Sam’ the Coventry City Football Club mascot who came to cheer us all on and draw the raffle. Food and refreshments were kindly donated for our volunteers by a number of local businesses and suppliers and we are extremely thankful to all of them for supporting us.
The Comic Relief team at PCMS worked tirelessly to organise this voluntary event for the fifth time and everyone at PCMS is extremely proud of what they have achieved. Thanks go out to all of the people who donated raffle prizes, refreshments or their time to make this event such a success.
