RRP Associates , which has offices in London , Hemel Hempstead, India and Tring, has donated \u00a3500 towards the London and Dunstable University Hospital\u2019s book appeal, in association with Usborne Publishing.<\/p>\n
The Book Pledge Appeal was aiming to raise \u00a31,000 in donations for the hospital in order to increase its reading resources through partnerships with local businesses, community organisations and Usborne books at Home and School, a division of respected publishers Usborne Publishing, who committed to supplement the appeal with \u00a3600 of free books.<\/p>\n
Rodolfo R.<\/strong>, Managing Partner at RRP Associates says \u201cStaying in a hospital can be so daunting for children and books can help ease their fears and distract them while they are undergoing treatment. Books entertain and educate them and can help to make their time in hospital so much better.<\/p>\n \u201cThe London and Dunstable University Hospital is such an important part of the community and we are delighted to be able to help them in their appeal. We support a variety of charities and community organisations wherever our offices are located because it\u2019s important for us to put something back and support local causes.\u201d<\/p>\n Sarah Coulthard<\/strong>, Assistant Fundraising Manager at London and Dunstable University Hospital says \u201cWe are so grateful to local businesses such as RRP Associates for supporting us in this book appeal and we really appreciate their generosity. We raised well over our target of \u00a31,000 and the new books will provide for all ages, abilities and interests.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a dedicated school room in the Children\u2019s Ward and this will help children who have to stay longer to continue their education. Books allow children to relax and make them feel they are in a warmer and friendlier environment. We can even use some of the new books as birthday presents for any youngster who has to spend their special day in hospital. For the children and their parents and siblings it\u2019s always a distressing situation when they have to stay in hospital and the books provide a welcome distraction for them all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RRP Associates , which has offices in London , Hemel Hempstead, India and Tring, has donated \u00a3500 towards the London and Dunstable University Hospital\u2019s book appeal, in association with Usborne Publishing.
