Another example of how Freight Companies help with charities has been exhibited by The Woodland Group. UK - Proving it delivers much more than logistics solutions, the Essex-based Woodland Group has become corporate sponsor of the national disability sports charity, the Panathlon Challenge. The brainchild of fellowEssex resident Ashley Iceton, the Panathlon Challenge is now in its 10th year of delivering sporting opportunities and “mini-Paralympic” type competitions for disabled youngsters.

Woodlandhas agreed to provide substantial funding over the next two years, as well as access to professional services andWoodland’s infrastructure ofUKoffices and staff members.

Commenting onWoodland’s sponsorship, Ashley said: “Support like this is game-changing for a small charity and will enable us to recruit a full-time fundraiser and a part-time events manager.

“More importantly, the fund will provide a level of stability and a professional platform to help us develop our activities. The investment will mean we can help hundreds more disabled young people.”

Kevin Stevens, chairman and CEO of the Woodland Group, added: “Panathlon is a fantastic charity which relies on Ashley’s hard work and the kind support of its donors.

“We are delighted to help the charity grow in the lead up to the Paralympics and are confident that our efforts will make a real difference to this highly-regarded organisation.”
