‘Living Social’ supports local Brighton charity

Besi Besemar July 15, 2013

LivingSocial, the local marketplace to buy and and share the best things to do in your local area is supporting Carousel, an award winning charity that facilitates people with a learning disability to reach their potential in the arts, as one of 12 handpicked charities across the UK and Ireland that will benefit from the LivingSocial charity partnership.

The company pledges to donate £1 from every voucher sold on LivingSocial.co.uk on specially selected offers in the area.

Highlighting the company’s mission to support local causes, this new charity partnership showcases handpicked charitable organisations from towns and cities around the UK and Ireland. Participating charities such as Carousel will benefit from the donations during the month of July. Carousel was chosen specifically for their commitment to working with vulnerable individuals in the local community in the Brighton area.

Peter Briffett, Managing Director for LivingSocial UK and Ireland, said:

“With local communities at the very heart of our business, we are delighted to partner with Carousel, such a worthy charity which does some amazing work in the area. LivingSocial could not be prouder to actively support the fantastic activities they do for the local community – truly making life better for those in need, right in their local area.”

Caroline Lucas, MP for Brighton Pavilion and a keen supporter of Carousel, said:

“I was blown away by the incredible achievements of this unique organisation and by the tireless efforts of its team to support learning disabled artists in our city and beyond.”

As part of its three year anniversary celebrations in the UK and Ireland this week, the initiative follows partnerships with Children in Need and Comic Relief, and has been launched to celebrate 16,000 local business partnerships and over 4m new customers acquired for those businesses, in 45 UK towns and cities.
