Pertemps donation gives a boost to Giles’ Trust Fund

This generous donation has come from a range of fundraising initiatives and the generosity and hard work of the firm’s employees. Events such as the Pertemps Masquerade Ball and the give as you earn scheme, where employees dress down every Friday, have helped to raise awareness and raise funds for the Giles' Trust.
Over the past year, the Pertemps employees have undertaken a new approach to fundraising, putting on their annual masquerade ball which saw guests enjoy a three course meal and an evening of entertainment. There were a variety of amazing prizes on offer, including a once in a lifetime mini break experience to the Rudolfina Ball in Vienna.
It is only by continued fundraising efforts like these that the Giles' Trust is able to fund a new brain tumour research nurse who is providing vital research into brain tumours at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. The Giles' Trust is very grateful to Pertemps for their support.
