Westcot Credit Service Ltd, based in Saltcoats, recently presented a cheque for £708.36 to Hansel.

Generous staff got together to arrange a number of fundraising activities in the office over the past few months, including a staff appreciation day, to support the charity.

Agnes Paton, Fundraising and Communications Manager, Hansel said, “We are delighted to have the support of Westcot Credit Services and are truly grateful for all the fundraising activities they have carried out in their workplace raising an amazing £708.36.

“At Hansel, we aim to give people with additional support needs the freedom to be heard, the freedom of choice and the freedom to live the life they choose.

“This donation will help us continue to do

that.”

Westcot Credit Services offers a range of financial services from its contact centres based in Saltcoats, Glasgow, Hull and Bolton.

Leah Ralston, Operations Manager - Business Solutions added, “We love nothing more than supporting local charities and giving back to our community, regularly looking at surrounding charities.

“When we discovered Hansel we were blown away with the work they do to support our people living with disabilities and additional support needs.

“It was clear from our research that what you do you do with love and passion.

“We really wanted to do our bit in helping to continue providing this vital and well needed service.

“Given the work we do within the financial sector, we regularly interact with some extremely vulnerable customers and we recognise just

how important the likes of Hansel are in supporting customers throughout their day-to-day life.”
