PHMG on target to smash charity fundraising target

Audio branding specialist PHMG is set to smash its annual fundraising target after raising more than £48,000 so far this year for its chosen charities.

Employees at the company have been pulling out all the stops to reach their £50,000 goal, participating in a number of challenging events including the Great North Run and the Manchester Half Marathon. And in the season of giving, they took part in The Global Santa Dash – a festive fun run and a Global Toy Drive, with staff donating gifts to children and teenagers who might not otherwise receive one.

As with previous years, PHMG’s board has pledged to match the donation if the £50,000 target is met. The money will be donated through the company’s official charity, the PHMG Foundation, which has raised more than £316,000 since 2013.

“It’s always great to see the grit and determination of our staff when it comes to charitable activities, especially when the countdown is on towards the end of the year,” said Chris Berisford, Finance Director at Manchester-based PHMG and PHMG Foundation Trustee. “We can’t wait to see what the final amount will be.”

The PHMG Foundation is fundraising for four charities in 2018 supporting children, people in crisis and local communities through the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Action for Children and SOS Children’s Village Illinois.

PHMG is the world’s leading audio branding agency with more than 32,000 clients in 39 countries worldwide, including Coca-Cola, Audi and Adidas.
