Just over a year ago, Gestamp Tallent Ltd, an automotive company based in Newton Aycliffe in County Durham, selected Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity as its charity partner. Since then, the staff have been busy fundraising in all sorts of imaginative ways. As well as festive Christmas fundraising and numerous cake sales, they organised a summertime fun day and lots of other activities inside and outside of the office.

Thanks to their tremendous effort, £6,350 has been raised for Rainbow Trust so far which will go towards supporting families who have a child with a life threatening or terminal illness. It is down to those like the staff of Gestamp Tallent Ltd that we are getting closer to our vision of one day helping all families in the UK who face this situation.

We were so pleased to have been chosen to work with a great local company who are so committed to helping good causes. The enthusiasm and dedication shown by staff has been fantastic. We want to say a big thank you to everyone that got involved and helped raised this brilliant amount of money as it will make a real difference to the families we support.
