Landmark Information
Group has donated a prize pot of more than £3,250 to humanitarian aid
charity MapAction.
Presenting the cheque to MapAction’s Head of Fundraising Mim
Wright [pictured below], Mark Milner, CEO of Landmark Information Group said:
“MapAction provides invaluable and truly unique services by identifying which
disaster-struck areas are in need of vital support and where relief sources
are. We are delighted to present them with this cheque which will help
make sure aid gets to the people in greatest need.”
MapAction is a charity that maps life-saving information
about disaster situations so that aid agencies can target relief efforts
effectively. It is the only non-governmental organisation (NGO) anywhere in the
world with a capacity to deploy a fully trained and equipped humanitarian
mapping and information management team, often within a few hours of an
alert.
In 2012, due to the synergies in mapping and geospatial data,
Landmark launched its partnership with the charity by pledging a corporate
donation of £2,500 as well as organising a range of fund-raising activities to
help MapAction get aid.
Mim Wright, Head of Fundraising at MapAction says:
"MapAction volunteers are on standby 24/7 to respond to any humanitarian
emergency anywhere in the world, so it's very reassuring to know that Landmark
is committed to supporting us. Their energy and enthusiasm will help MapAction
to save lives and minimise suffering when a disaster strikes."
