The team at Belvoir Swansea are boycotting their beds for a great cause. On July 9, we will swap our comfy beds for a more unusual night-time set-up. The team will sleep in their cars, gardens, or even on the office floor… All to raise money for Action for Children.
Our three offices in Swansea Marina, Mumbles and Sketty have committed to host and participate in a variety fundraising activities for the charity across the next 12 months.
Action for Children is an invaluable lifeline for many vulnerable families across Swansea. It offers practical and emotional support to familie, and extra services such as play sessions, speech therapists, health interventions and parenting programmes.
Commenting on Belvoir’s commitment to the charity, Managing Director, Ben Davies, said: “We’re a family-run business and a lot of our staff have children. Being able to support families in the communities we’re part of is so important to us.
“The pandemic has particularly had a negative impact on children and many families have found it difficult to provide the day-to-day necessities for their children to be comfortable and happy. Action for Children provides an essential support system for so many families across Swansea. We’re proud to support them in any way we can.”
Commenting on the partnership, Action for Children Regional Fundraising Manager, Nina Rice, said: “We’re thrilled to be working in partnership with Belvoir to make a difference to vulnerable children and families. We’re really looking forward to working with Belvoir’s staff and clients and we’d urge others across Swansea to get involved in our fundraising activities.”
Action for Children also runs Tŷ Laura, in Mumbles. Tŷ Laura provides respite care for children and young people who have severe learning disabilities and complex needs. It also provides young people from ages four to 18 with high-quality breaks from home, and also provides their families with much needed rest.
