Join Local Businesses to Eat Breakfast and Save Lives

Business owners in Hook and the surrounding area are helping to feed children in Africa, by tucking in to a hearty breakfast! Join them at a special meeting of Hart Business Referral Exchange on Friday 27th February, The Hogget, LondonRoad, Hook Common, Hook, Hampshire, RG27 9JJ. It starts at 7.15 am and gives businesses the opportunity of valuable networking with a promotional slot as well. It’s all part of a larger campaign being promoted by Twyford based Feed The Children UK.

“During the week 23rd-28th February we are asking business groups to use our ‘Eat A Breakfast, Save A Life’ campaign to invite people along to a breakfast meeting with a difference,” says Brian Main, Chief Executive of Feed The Children UK. “We know business is tough, but there are many people in the world where simple daily life is really tough. By coming along to the meeting not only will you meet other business people that you can network with but you will be helping to raise some much needed funds to feed some of the most vulnerable children in the world.”

Hart BRX group leader, David Woodroofe adds, “BRX is a great format for establishing new business contacts and if we can help Feed The Children in its work at the same time, it has got to be a winner.”

Just £10 covers the attendance fee and breakfast, with proceeds being donated to Feed The Children.  In addition to this fundraising there will also be a super raffle. Entry is by business card at £2 per business card. If you would like to attend go to www.brxnet.co.uk/hart or email tony.harrison@brxnet.co.uk.

Feed The Children works worldwide, as well as within the UK, to develop sustainable communities and provide food and other necessities for those in great need.  The charity concentrates aid on children suffering the affects of poverty, especially those orphaned or abandoned. The charity believes that wherever there is famine, conflict, disease or poverty, it is always the children who are most vulnerable.

Feed The Children UK registered in 1994 and over the years the charity has helped millions of children and their families both at home and abroad. The charity relies on gifts from generous companies, individuals and organisations to donate the goods and financial assistance needed in order to support the various humanitarian and relief projects.
