"I have witnessed first hand how – with the right resources – a life-saving and sustainable difference within the community can be achieved… I realised that thanks to the generous people at HRG, the beautiful children sitting in front of me were now more likely to remain healthy and have a better education. I felt very proud to be a small part of HRG day."

HRG DAY

Hogg Robinson Group (HRG), the international corporate travel services company, has supported ActionAid since 2007 through its annual charity event.

The fundraising day sees over 12,000 HRG employees worldwide organise auctions, collections, cake sales and other events to support ActionAid projects in Brazil, Cambodia and Malawi.

This year HRG staff are supporting projects in Haiti, India and South Africa and their efforts have taken HRG’s fundraising total to over £150,000 for ActionAid throughout the 3 years of the partnership.
