First Group seem to be sponsoring quite a few buses up and down the country for Save the Children. I know that Bristol certainly has some. Plymouth now has this one. Anything which helps highlight child poverty in this country has to be a good thing so well done to First for this initiative.
Hmmm but just how much are First actually donating?? Of their Mini-monster events, only 25% of the entry fee goes to STC and their web site talks about making employee giving to STC possible - just like Wal-Mart does. Sorry but this is just greenwash. How many of their employees are claiming family tax credits?

ReplyDeleteEither way they are doing something! They are, a business with profitability in mind, after all.
