NSRC Chance To Win £1000 Festive Boost !

The North Staffordshire Railway Company (1978) Ltd is calling on supporters to nominate the charity to win a £1,000 festive financial boost as part of Ecclesiastical Insurance’s annual 12 days of giving Christmas campaign.

Now into its fifth year, the campaign sees specialist insurer Ecclestial giving 120 different charities an early Christmas gift of a £1,000 donation, with 10 winners announced each weekday from 6 to 21 December. It’s quick and easy to nominate the North Staffordshire Railway Company online. Nominations are open from 8 November to 20 December and you can vote for the NSRC at www.movementforgood.com/12days

Winners will be drawn at random and the more times the NSRC is nominated the more chance it has of being selected. The only restriction is one nomination per e-mail address!

The North Staffordshire Railway Company is encouraging everyone to use their social media channels to ask people to vote for them to give the charity the best possible chance of winning.

NSRC Chairman Howard Bould is hopeful of success in this years draw: "With our 40-year ambition of extending into Leek on the verge of fruition, there is a number of areas where the NSRC can play a part. We're to play a part in enhancing the visitor experience to travellers on the Churnet Valley Railway, and £1000 can make a big difference in achieving this goal."

Mark Hews, Group CEO of Ecclesiastical, said: “As a commercial company with a charitable purpose, giving back is at the heart of our business. In fact, Ecclesiastical is the fourth largest corporate donor in the UK."

Our annual 12 days of giving Christmas campaign has supported hundreds of charities over the past four years and I’m delighted that we will once again help charities change lives for the better."

We know that for many charities £1,000 can make a real difference. We’re encouraging supporters to get their nominations in this Christmas to give them a chance of winning a festive financial boost.
