Workers at Ideagen, the Nottingham-headquartered global tech business, have rallied to support the people of Türkiye (Turkey) and Syria, devastated by recent earthquakes.
In just a few weeks Ideagen employees in Nottingham and around the world, raised £2,410. The tech company then more than doubled that, bringing the total to £5,000.
Claire Knee, Ideagen global community lead, said: “Together, our people and the company wanted to help. We know that thousands of people have lost their lives, hundreds of buildings have been destroyed and survivors are facing awful conditions. They are in desperate need of emergency aid – the scale of the tragedy is unfathomable to most of us.”
The £5,000 raised will go direct to the Red Cross and The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) who are coordinating aid efforts for 15 charities, ensuring it gets directly to where it is most needed.
Claire continued: “Community is one of Ideagen’s core values, so matching the generosity of our employees was something the business really wanted to do.”
