Do More Day December 2006 marked the launch of Do More Day, an annual event to raise awareness amongst our employees and clients of the opportunity to get involved with Xansa's community activities. Do More Day not only involves fundraising and volunteering events, but also re-energises our community work across the UK and India on an annual basis.
This year saw teams across the UK and India putting lots of energy into running events, with many account teams involving our clients. Events ranged from the sale of Do More Bears, cake sales and auctions, to selling photos of people pictured with a Renault F1 car or a Premiership football trophy. Xansa volunteers undertook activities including English language classes at a school in Noida and the refurbishment of a room at a Crisis Centre in Manchester. The event fully mobilised Xansa's global workforce to get involved and give something back to their local communities.
During Do More Day 2006, we raised £21,000 in 24 hours for educational and charitable organisations. These included schools for the disadvantaged in India, the Prince's Trust, Segal House Nursery for children with special needs, and Pathways Centre for the Homeless.
We've chosen to focus on education because young people, particularly those in underprivileged circumstances, need a sound educational base to help to equip them with the relevant skills they need to make their way in an increasingly competitive work environment. The launch of Do More Day was a great way to mobilise the whole organisation to get involved in the Community programme and support local education charities and initiatives.
