We recently sent out a mailshot on behalf of The Co-operative Insurance who were looking for people with burglary convictions to complete a short survey. This survey formed part of a study they were on doing on popular home security measures.
The Co-operative Insurance were seeking up to 25 respondents and in return, to show their gratitude, they agreed to donate £50 to Unlock for each completed response.
Well, we’re delighted to announce that they received the full quota of responses and we have now received a cheque for £1250. We would like to say a big thank you to The Co-operative Insurance and also Media.com who arranged the mailshot, but most of all a special thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in the survey.
We’ll be putting the money towards supporting the information & advice that we provide to people with convictions.
