It is inviting its industry partners to make donations to the national charity campaign, which launches today.

Staff will also be encouraged to set up a local fund-raising event.
First Choice Radio, broadcast in the shops, will air ‘jokes of the day’, and the company’s website will take on the campaign’s red theme and will show information about the campaign and regional events.
Customers will be targeted with an email campaign and ‘welcome home’ mailings will be themed. Even ticket books and luggage labels will become part of the campaign.
