Komodo supports the following charitable organisations and is doing some amazing things to raise funds to support them.
Helping disadvantaged youth in Kings Cross
Earlier this year, we worked with one of our favourite TV news presenters Jon Snow, to launch a new facility for the New Horizon Youth Centre. The launch event, for which Komodo managed PR for, attracted the likes of Sarah Brown (the then PM’s wife) and Rory Bremner.
New Horizon Youth Centre is an organisation
based in Kings Cross and works hard to create positive futures for young, disadvantaged
people. Creating awareness and understanding of their work is key to helping to drive funds to the charity. And our work with them secured them coverage in the likes of LBC, Metro and the Daily Mirror and Daily Star amongst other outlets.
In December 2010, we also helped New Horizon Youth Centre fight potential funding cuts by raising awareness of their work by placing features in the national press.
We have also helped to raise funds for:
Sleepless nights
Byte Night is the IT industry’s annual sleep out in support of Action for Children. Each year hundreds of individuals and teams from the technology and IT industries spend a night exposed to the elements in a bid to raise sponsorship and awareness of Action for Children’s work.
We believe there should be no reason for anyone (unless of course it is their chosen lifestyle) in the developed world to be without a roof over their heads. It shouldn’t need to happen.
In 2009, we took part and helped raise over £4,000 for the charity.
Educating the next generation of PR stars
Helen, CEO of The Reptile Group, is on a weekly basis e-mentoring a budding PR professional via the Social Mobility Foundation. The Foundation aims to bring the brightest A Level students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds to professional or business life in time for them to make informed choices for higher education and their future career.
Prejudice and hatred
The Anne Frank Trust UK is the British partner organisation of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. Their mission is to draw on the power of Anne Frank’s life and diary to challenge prejudice and reduce hatred, encouraging people to embrace positive attitudes, responsibility and respect for others.
The Trust delivers educational programmes across the UK reaching at least 125,000 individuals every year. They have a staff team of 12 supported by an internship programme and over 200 volunteers.
Two of the key values at Komodo surround respect and responsibility – for ourselves and those around us – and we know a continued, relentless, programme to educate and raise awareness of the need to eradicate the tensions and disruptions that affect people’s lives is required to change attitudes. We fully support the work the Anne Frank Trust has achieved to date and will go on to achieve in the future.
