“We are delighted that FTA members have shown such generosity and goodwill in raising this fantastic sum over the past three years in order to support the important work that Transaid carries out to save lives in Africa and the developing world.”
In total the FTA scheme has raised £211,300 for Transaid since it started at the end of 2009, giving members the option to make a donation along with their annual FTA membership fees. The presentation was made Hookham to Jo Godsmark, newly appointed Chair of Transaid, in front of 250 delegates at the final event in the FTA Transport Manager Conference series sponsored by Iveco. Jo Godsmark, commented:
“We are delighted that the FTA and its members continue to support Transaid’s work to such a significant extent. These funds, together with support from the wider transport industry, are vital in allowing Transaid to invest in research into new transport solutions, such as our original work on the bicycle ambulances, and have allowed us to establish a series of effective HGV driver trainer programmes to combat the escalating problem of road deaths in Africa.”
