Local MP Thanks Royal Mail Staff For Their Generosity

North Swindon MP, Justin Tomlinson, has thanked local Royal Mail staff for their generosity after the latest statistics showed the scale of their charitable contributions over the last twelve months.

Last year, Royal Mail staff raised more than £500,000 through colleague fundraising campaigns for a variety of charities as well as £2.34mil for its 'Charity of the Year', Prostate Cancer UK. In North Swindon, the 1473 employees donated more than £25,000 to charity and gave fifteen days over to volunteering in the local community.

Justin Tomlinson MP said: "Our local posties and Royal Mail staff do a vital job day-in, day-out. It was great to visit the Hawksworth office over Christmas to meet the staff and to talk about the work they do. I'm not at all surprised by the generosity shown by Royal Mail staff in Swindon and we're delighted that they've chosen to expand their operations in the town".
