Makemedia support local charity by sponsoring children to attend circus-starr event

Makemedia have sponsored 2 children to go and see the Circus Starr show with local charity Rockinghorse. For 43 years, Rockinghorse have been making life better for sick and disabled babies, children and teenagers in the Sussex and Surrey area by providing specialist equipment and respite areas.  Circus Starr supports local charities to raise their profiles, as well as funding from businesses – having raised £744, 845 last year. In their own words:

“Circus Starr’s unique ethos is to raise thousands of pounds for local charities from the advance sales of tickets to local businesses. These tickets can then be donated to local community groups who otherwise would not get the chance to enjoy the magic of circus.”

Sponsored tickets are donated to local groups including Demelza James House, ABC Fund, Fun in Action For Children, The Bluebird Society For The Disabled and The MIND Shop. The great thing is that as part of their social enterprise commitment,  Circus Starr will be matching Makemedia in sending another 2 children to see the show on our behalf – meaning 4 children will enjoy the show thanks to our donation!

Makemedia MD George Longfoot said,

“Even though general market conditions have been difficult and companies are watching their spend it’s important not to forget to support charities. Supporting the local economy and community is something which is really important to Makemedia and having a young child myself I can see the importance of sponsoring a charity which helps children.”
