BT Shortlists Mercy Ships

Mercy Ships has been shortlisted as BT’s charity of choice to work alongside their regular charity partner ChildLine.

BT has been supporting Child Line for 25 years and is looking for a second charity partner with Mercy Ships up against Cancer Research and The British Heart Foundation.

BT will announce the winning charity in September after their 100,000 employees vote for who they would like to see as BT’s charity of choice partner. 

Judy Polkinhorn, Executive Director of Mercy Ships UK, said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted for BT’s charity of choice. If we are chosen as BT’s second charity, it would make a considerable difference to what we can achieve next year when the ship will be docked in Sierra Leone.” 

If you work for BT, please vote for Mercy Ships UK. If you know someone who works for BT, please encourage them to vote for us too. Mercy Ships UK could receive up to £500,000 through the partnership.  If we are chosen by BT staff, it will make a real difference and enable Mercy Ships to bring hope and healing where it has never existed before. We need your help to win the votes.
