Aylesford brings festive cheer to Great Ormond Street

Aylesford brings festive cheer to Great Ormond Street

Aylesford Newsprint paid a visit to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital this Christmas to celebrate raising over 160,000 for new medical equipment.

The Kent-based newsprint recycler has made contributions to the hospital based on the tonnage of paper collection through specially liveried bring banks for eight years.

Marking the partnership's achievement so far, the Aylesford team brought presents and a magician to entertain children at the world-famous hospital.

Head of commercial at the hospital's charity, Julia Stanger-France said: “Our very long-standing relationship with Aylesford continues to bring in much needed income to the hospital in such a simple way. We are delighted to count Aylesford and their staff as our supporters.”

A joint venture between SCA Forest Products and Mondi Europe, Aylesford produces about 400,000 tonnes of 100% recycled paper a year for newspaper publishers.

Commenting on the company's relationship with Great Ormond Street, Aylesford area manager Karen Newell said: “The partnership we have benefits everyone. It encourages the public to recycle and our donations go towards improving the lives of children at the hospital. We’ve all had a great day with the magician, the children really enjoyed themselves.”
