Elan in race to raise ?10,000 for IT Relief

Staff at recruitment agency, Elan Computing, are aiming to raise up to ?10,000 for IT Relief by taking part in the Great North Run next month.
Elan's marketing team is entering the 13-mile race on 8 October to back IT Relief's campaign to help KIDS, the UK charity that supports children with special needs and their carers. IT Relief has a goal of generating ?100,000 before the year-end.
Dev Makh, senior marketing executive at Elan, said: "In a fast-moving industry like IT, it's easy to get caught up in business and lose sight of the world around you. Charity initiatives like IT Relief allow us to give something back to the community."
IT Relief has also organised a gala ball, which will take place on 8 October in London's Hilton. There are still some tickets and sponsorship opportunities available: for more information, call 0704 4000989 or email helpkids@itrelief.org .
