Last running in 2016, Variety is bringing back its Twenty for Two campaign to raise money for disadvantaged and disabled children across the region.

The idea behind the campaign is for Lancashire businesses to select Variety as their charity of the year, and then raise £2,000 over the course of 2019.

It is hoped that twenty businesses will pledge their support, so a staggering total of £40,000 will be raised by the campaign.

Variety, the children’s charity, is a nationwide charity set up to improve the lives of sick, disabled and disadvantaged by providing wheel- chairs, accessible coaches and other specialist equipment.

David Jones, chairman of Lancashire’s Committee for Variety, said: “We really hope some of our great businesses here in Lancashire will support our Twenty for Two campaign. We see first-hand how the work that we do really does change the lives of disadvantaged children, and helps to reduce stress for their families.

“I can’t wait to see some of the fund-raising ideas, from dress down office days to sponsored bungee jumps, there are so many ways to have fun with it.”
