Neil Jagger, CEO for NewstrAid, said: “It was really great for NewstrAid to be included in this event which allowed us to update all the delegates on the work that we have been doing to support people from the industry who might be struggling financially or emotionally. We are also so grateful for the generosity of those who attended and helped to raise over £1,000 for our work.”

The event also saw three members of NewsTeam staff sign up to become Welfare Volunteers for NewstrAid.

Neil Jagger added: “We are always on the lookout for people from the industry to join our army of volunteers who visit and call our beneficiaries and help to provide a human face of the charity and its work. To have three new volunteers sign up following this event was fantastic.”
