Liverpool based CDP Print Management has raised £1400 for the local food poverty charity, Can Cook, which is behind the region’s ‘Share Your Lunch’ campaign. The print management company has also selected Can Cook to be its chosen charity of the year.

The funds were raised following a sporting evening organised by CDP, which involved two of Liverpool football club’s former European Cup winning legends, Welsh international Joey Jones and England international Phil Neal. The evening was staged at Liverpool venue, The Connie Club, and the event was compered by the Liverpool Echo’s James Pearce.

The sporting evening was well attended and supported by CDP staff, family and friends, along with CDP customers and suppliers. All monies raised on the night will now go towards providing families with a hot meal on Christmas Day, as part of the ‘Can Cook’ – Share Your Lunch campaign.

The evening was the first in a series of fundraising events which are being planned by CDP, as part of its activities towards assisting Can Cook with its Share Your Lunch efforts.

Can Cook is the latest selected charity by CDP, and forms part of the Joe Scanlon Memorial Fund, (CDP’s founder), which each year since 2001 has selected various charitable causes to be its nominated choice of donations. The Fund has so far raised in excess of £70,000 since its inception, each year surpassing its target figures.

The Can Cook campaign was established as it is estimated that 60,000 people in Liverpool have accessed a food bank in the last 12 months.
