Charity wins £10,000 in printing firm 's 'SOS ' project
Birmingham-based charity Help Harry Help Others has been awarded £10,000 worth of services from printing and branding firm, Embello.
Hundreds of charities applied to the Tamworth company 's Brum:SOS project and five finalists were invited to the Embello HQ to pitch for the prize.
The Embello team were overwhelmed by the inspiring story behind the charity started by one selfless, brave, young boy.
Harry Moseley started raising money and awareness for brain cancer when he was just nine years old, after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.
He made beaded bracelets to sell and spoke at businesses, events and schools - raising £750,000 for brain tumour research before losing his own battle with the disease in 2011, aged just 11.
His mother Georgie continued what Harry had started, registering Help Harry Help Others as a charity in 2012.
The charity has provided much-needed help to more than 1,000 families and achieved more than £1million of giving.
The £10,000 pot from Embello will enable the charity to create Help Harry Help Others branded merchandise and provide thank you gifts to service providers and supporters.
It will also allow the team to produce official merchandise for the 2023 Birmingham Walkathon, which is taking place on Sunday 2 April, 2023.
Georgie Moseley said: “Being awarded with £10,000 worth of funding is absolutely incredible, especially as we received the news as we were marking our 10th year as a registered charity. It allows us to ensure the charity remains visible.
“It means we can continue shouting about the support we offer, sharing Harry 's story and ultimately being able to provide a lifeline to the thousands of families who so desperately need us.
“We can 't thank the team at Embello enough. We are looking forward to working with them and sharing our new marketing material and merchandise with great pride. ”
Kyle Raffo, director at Embello, said: “We were totally overwhelmed by the amount and quality of applications and wanted to help everyone, but we were all truly inspired by Harry and his generosity and determination in wanting to help others who were struggling, despite being ill himself. And also by Georgie, who has carried on Harry 's legacy with this incredible work to help so many people.
“Our massive congratulations go to the Help Harry Help Others team and we look forward to working with them. ”
