Bloomin’ marvellous!

MERSEYTRAVEL has donated £2,000 to Knowsley Family Link, the organisation’s charity of the year and
given it £500 worth of Saveaway tickets.

Knowsley Family Link, which is part of the SCOPE charity, trains volunteers to help children with disabilities take part in inclusive community activities.

Sam Armstrong, Assistant Project Co-ordinator for Knowsley Family Link, said:- “This is a tremendously generous gift and we’d like to say a big ‘thank-you’ to everyone who works at Merseytravel for choosing us as their charity this year, it’s brilliant!”.

The charity of the year is decided in a poll of every member of staff within Merseytravel.

Neil Scales, Chief Executive and Director General of Merseytravel, said:- ”We’re equally delighted to be making this donation.

Our staff choose a charity every year to which we donate money instead of sending out corporate Christmas cards and then we hold raffles and other events throughout the year to boost the total.”
