Title: NSPCC - TV Competition
Post by: sheepshagger on Thursday, April 7, 2011, 08:29:58
Guys and Gals

I'm not too sure what the "etiquette" is on here for this sort of thing so please don't shout too loud if this is not OK

I am part owner in a company called Powerfreakz

We have teamed up with the NSPCC to try and raise money. We are giving away a Samsung 46 inch 3D TV - completely for free

Obviously we are looking for donations to the NSPCC - however you don't need to donate to enter if you don't want

To give you a little background, the Childline phone number goes unanswered 33% of the time due to lack of trained volunteers - it costs £1,600 to train every volunteer for this.  33% of calls unanswered equates to 1000 calls every minute of every day not being answered !!  We are trying to raise money to train more volunteers to answer calls from kids.

I thought it might be a nice thing to post here and give everyone a chance to enter/donate......

To enter the competition, just go here :

An interesting video to accompany things....

Hope this is OK - please let me know if its not !!!!

Fair play to you sheepshagger, if it gets more people watching the video and then donating, it's all good. Good on you.

And it got me to look at your company website - I can immediately think of 3 times in the past couple of weeks when those portable chargers would have been damn handy. May get one - hope it does well.

Paul I will sort you out with a sample when we build our next "batch" - should be in the next 6 weeks :)
