Pat delivers £250k for charity
Classic Media, a global media company with a portfolio of some of the world’s leading family entertainment brands, today announced that the UK’s favourite postal delivery worker.
Postman Pat, has helped to raise over £250,000 for children’s charity Barnardos’ ‘Believe in Children’ Appeal through the sale of special collectable pin badges that are available in over 12,000 Post Offices across the UK.
The special Postman Pat pin badges are still available from Post Office branches across the country for a suggested donation of £1 with all proceeds going direct to Barnardo’s to support the organisation’s vital work. Badge designs feature Pat with his trusty sidekick Jess the Cat, delivering a parcel, in his van, on his motorbike and even in his new Special Delivery Service helicopter!
The ‘Believe in Children’ Appeal 2010 campaign was launched in September. The sale of the specially designed Postman Pat badges forms part of the Royal Mail Group’s support for the Appeal, which aims to help raise funds for Barnardo’s work with some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children in the UK.
“We’re incredibly delighted that Postman Pat has helped raise such a significant amount for such a worthwhile cause,” commented Anja Hendriks, senior director, marketing at Classic Media. “It’s fantastic to be able to use Pat’s popularity in such a positive way. We hope sales of the pin badges continue to soar in the lead-up to Christmas, aiding Barnardo’s continuing efforts to deliver support to disadvantaged children across the UK.”
