Children in Need collection 2016

Fri, Nov 18th 2016 at 12:00 am - 12:00 am

Fantastic effort by several Rotary Clubs working together


Over 265 members of Rotary Clubs in the area of Heathrow Airport took part in the Children in Need Collection on the 13th November 2015 in all Terminals, organised by Misbourne Matins Rotary Club and Marlow Thames Rotary Club. Collections started at 6:00am and continued to 8:00pm that evening at Arrivals and Departures on the landside, and all the Airside areas. Pudsey Bears were distributed throughout the Terminal to highlight the Children in Need Appeal.

The travelling public's response was tremendous, most of them giving coins and notes of many countries. All currencies were collected, bagged and delivered to Travelex at their offices for counting and conversion. The volunteers arrived throughout the day and collected for periods of up to 6 hours each. We wish to thank them for all their hard work and enthusiasm, which contributed to another record year for Children in Need.
