TANK PR GIVES A NOTTINGHAM VOICE TO NATIONAL CHILDREN’S CHARITY PUSH

Nottingham public relations agency Tank PR has been chosen to handle the publicity for the NSPCC’s Nottingham Child’s Voice Appeal Board.

Tank PR will help publicise news of the fundraising efforts of Nottingham organisations as they help to raise £3.3 million towards the Appeal, which aims to develop the NSPCC Helpline, for adults with a concern about a child, and ChildLine, for children in danger or distress.

The agency was selected for the role by Nottingham entrepreneur, Andrew Springhall, who is deputy chairman of the East Midlands Child’s Voice Appeal Steering Group and heads up its Board for Nottinghamshire. He said:

“It is a tragedy that some children and young people trying to contact the ChildLine base in Nottingham don’t get through due to lack of resources. The Child’s Voice Appeal aims to expand the helpline so that children in the East Midlands get the help and advice they need. Last year the base counselled over 9,000 children but we won’t be happy until all calls are answered.”
