Action Against Hunger has been chosen as charity of the year by Key Travel.
Staff at the travel management company, which specialises in the not-for-profit sector, will raise money for the charity throughout 2011.
Action Against Hunger, one of Key Travel’s clients, aims to end child hunger and is currently responding to the humanitarian emergency at the Libya - Tunisia border, as well as supporting families in the Ivory Coast.
Jean-Michel Grand, executive director of Action Against Hunger, said the charity is “delighted” to have gained the support of Key Travel.
“Our teams are working tirelessly to save the lives of malnourished children around the world and we are helping five million people every year,” he said.
“Our partnership with Key Travel is a great opportunity for us to work together to fight child malnutrition and help to put an end to world hunger.”
Key Travel has been supporting a different charity for the past four years, with the choice voted for by staff at the TMC.
Steve Summers, Key Travel’s CEO, said: "Our staff have an excellent track record for raising money for charity and I am sure that they are looking forward to applying themselves in support of this very worthy cause.”
Charities previously supported by the TMC include: Mines Advisory Group, Leonard Cheshire Disability and Maternal and Childhealth Advocacy International
