Independent retail marketing specialist Retail Spark has become the latest company to support industry charity NewstrAid, signing up as a corporate sponsor for the first time.
The business has donated £5,000 to the charity, helping NewstrAid continue its work supporting people across the newspaper and magazine industry with financial assistance, emotional support and practical advice during difficult times.
NewstrAid supports more than 1,000 people each year working in the sale and distribution of newspapers and magazines, while continuing to see growing demand from new applicants across the sector.
“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Retail Spark as a Silver Sponsor," said Neil Jagger, CEO of NewstrAid. "Their support will help us continue to provide vital assistance to hundreds of beneficiaries in the months ahead.”
Darren Powell, Business Development Manager at Retail Spark, added: “We are delighted to become a Silver Sponsor for NewstrAid and proud to play a part in helping the charity continue the invaluable work in our sector.”
Retail Spark joins a growing number of businesses backing NewstrAid’s work to support wholesalers, retailers and industry colleagues facing financial hardship, wellbeing challenges or personal crisis.
