SUPPORTING CHARITIES
DOING WHAT WE CAN
At IPP JOULES we do what we can to make a difference in the way we support national and international charities. We become directly involved, to understand the challenges, so we can then make a positive contribution.
In order to make our contribution worthwhile, we focus our support on a few charities rather than spreading ourselves too thin. ipp joules is currently involved in the UK with the Careline Appeal, where Bob Cottell is the current Chairman. Internationally we help with fund raising for Grace Secondary School in the Sudan. Both charities are very worthy causes.
The Careline Appeal aims to support local people in maintaining their independence within the community, by sponsoring the rental and monitoring of a special Lifeline unit. The Careline Appeal assists the elderly, the disabled, the terminally ill, victims of crime and domestic violence and more recently child carers.
Careline puts on a number of events during the year to raise funds - come along if you can make it.
