Q-Park making children's lives better with NSPCC Partnership
Q-Park, the UK and Ireland's leading parking operator, have teamed up with the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) in an innovative collaboration which will result in discounted parking and a charitable donation from each booking.
The NSPCC are the leading children’s charity fighting to end child abuse across the UK. They work tirelessly to assist children who have been abused to rebuild their lives, protect those at risk, and find the best ways of preventing abuse from ever happening. The NSPCC is the leading children’s charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. Using voluntary donations, which make up around 90 per cent of funding, they help children who’ve been abused to rebuild their lives, protect children at risk, and find the best ways of preventing child abuse from ever happening. As well as helping children and providing assistance for parents and carers, they also campaign for changes to be made to laws and make calls for government to do more to help vulnerable young people.
When customers book city centre parking online using promo code NSPCC10 the parker will receive a 10% discount but more importantly Q-Park will donate 10% of the revenue directly to the NSPCC.
Q-Park operate in all the major UK and Ireland cities and the online booking engine can be used to book safe and secure city centre parking at any of the 83 locations across the UK and Ireland.
Deborah Sefton, NSPCC fundraising manager said: ‘We are delighted that a brand as prestigious as Q-Park would like to donate to our cause. The money provided will go a long way to helping the approximately 60,000 children across the UK who desperately need us.
John Denton, Head of Sales and Marketing for Q-Park UK & Ireland said ‘Q-Park is a name synonymous with safety so it makes absolute sense for us to partner with an organisation who are focused on the safety of our young people.
If you’re worried about a child, or you work with children and need advice or information, please call the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000, they are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
