Veezu Expands Opportunities for Local Children with Donation to Rotherham Titans Community Foundation

28 August 2024

Veezu is delighted to announce a £1,000 donation to the Rotherham Titans Community Foundation, in support of their vital summer camp initiative.

This programme, part of the government-backed Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) initiative, is designed to support children and families during the holidays, particularly those in need. It provides enriching activities, nutritious meals, and a unique opportunity for children to engage with professional rugby players from the Rotherham Titans.

Linked to the government's free school meals scheme, the HAF programme ensures that any child receiving these meals is entitled to a free place at the camp. However, many families who don't qualify for free school meals but still struggle to afford holiday activities often miss out. Thanks to Veezu's donation, the Rotherham Titans Community Foundation has been able to offer additional free places at the High Greave summer camp.

With overwhelming interest, the programme is now fully booked, and the additional funds have allowed the foundation to recruit more staff and accommodate more children, ensuring no one misses out on a fun and educational summer.

In addition to the donation, Veezu has provided each child with a branded water bottle and lunch bag, offering both practical benefits and a memorable keep sake from their camp experience.

"At Veezu, we believe in the power of community and the importance of investing in our young people," said Sacha Skinner, Regional Marketing Manager. "We are proud to support the Titans Community Foundation and the incredible work they do with local children during the summer holidays. It's heart-warming to see our contribution making a direct impact by giving more children the opportunity to have a fulfilling and fun summer."

"Huge thanks to Veezu for the support for young people this summer. Our HAF programme down at High Greave school really benefitted from their support and the children were very excited to be in a photo shoot, and to receive the amazing good bags to take home. Thanks, Veezu." Lindsay Jones, Chair of Trustees at Titans Community foundation said.

The donation was made as part of the "Funded by Veezu" initiative, which supports hundreds of local projects across the country, focusing on making a positive difference in communities.
