ERP UK supports charities Mind and Unique

The non-profit sector has been among the hardest hit by COVID-19 in 2020. The ongoing pandemic has impacted charities’ ability to raise funds, while the economic uncertainty has caused donors to considerably reduce their donations. As a result, many vulnerable people have been unable to receive the support they need during this unprecedented time.

According to a recent WHO report, the pandemic has sparked or amplified mental health issues for many worldwide. It has also been a particularly stressful time for parents/carers and children who are clinically extremely vulnerable who need to take extra measures to protect themselves from exposure to coronavirus.

Over the years, ERP has donated to a range of charities, including Prostate Cancer UK and the Motor Neurone Disease Association. This year in lieu of sending Christmas cards, ERP has made donations to charities Mind and Unique on behalf of our members and employees.
