Stoke-on-Trent Business, Cover and Legal, Announces Ambitious Charitable Project as Its CEO is Appointed Corporate Ambassador

Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom, November 21, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​​Leading, Stoke-on-Trent based, insurance company Cover and Legal has today announced its ambitious, charitable project in partnership with SOS Africa, a small, UK based, grassroots child sponsorship organisation which enables children in Africa to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential.

Following another year of record sales, Cover and Legal has provided funding for the construction of an aftercare building from which a new education programme and special needs workshops will be ran; ensuring both children with the greatest potential can flourish and those likely to otherwise fall through the education system are supported in a safe environment with the necessary equipment.

SOS Africa is a fantastic charity that really does make a difference to people's lives, providing an immediate but very sustainable and measurable improvement in these children's futures. We are delighted to provide this funding to SOS Africa where 100% of the donation will go to the project and enable SOS Africa to expand its scope of support to empower even more children through education within the region.

We are delighted to be able to share this story in the hope that other businesses get on board with the project as, once the aftercare building has been completed, there will be an urgent requirement for further fundraising”
