PRINTITRESELLER.UK 7 Copiers for causes Lancashire-based Evolve Document Solutions has donated five photocopiers to Rainbow Hub as part of its ‘Copiers for Causes’ initiative, supporting the charity’s new purpose-built school in Mawdesley. Rainbow Hub, a non-profit organisation providing education and therapy services for children with physical and neurological disabilities, will benefit from the in-house printing capabilities to support its operations. The photocopiers will be used to produce essential documents and educational materials, helping the charity to reduce costs and allocate more resources to their core services. Daniel Maddox, Owner of Evolve Document Solutions, said: “Rainbow Hub is such an important local charity. It is wonderful to see the new premises that their inspiring educational community and hard work deserve. The team at Evolve are proud to donate the photocopiers and join other local benefactors supporting this worthy cause.” Emma Parish, Rainbow Hub Corporate Relations and Event Manager, added: “We are grateful to Evolve Document Solutions for their generous donation of five photocopiers. This will make a huge difference to our charity, allowing us to produce important documents, promotional materials, and fundraising materials in-house. “The new photocopiers will help us save time and money, enabling us to focus on supporting our cause and making a positive impact on our community. Thank you so much for your support!” Since starting back in 2016, the ‘Copiers for Causes’ initiative has now installed over 50 photocopiers for community projects and charities across the Northwest. The campaign was launched to provide reconditioned machines to organisations that could not afford the expense of new equipment but required low running costs and greater features and functionality. Maddox added: “‘Copiers for Causes’ is a simple idea. We hope charities like Rainbow Hub will benefit from a more efficient, cost-effective printing solution. Better still, we are using office machines that, in some cases, may otherwise have been unused and recycled. This way, we keep a business asset generating value for organisations that need it most.” Evolve Document Solutions aims to continue the initiative by offering more refurbished photocopiers to eligible charities in the future. Interested organisations can apply for support through the company’s website. www. evolvedocumentsolutions.co.uk BULLETIN Aurora’s 10k challenge Last month, Aurora Managed Services took part in the Scotty’s Little Soldiers 10k.
