supporting bibic in 2007. Instead of sending corporate Christmas
gifts to their clients, Sigmer made a donation of £3,000 - the
amount required to support a child for one year at bibic. Sigmer
and bibic believe that investing these funds in a child’s future
is a lasting gift that all their clients will appreciate. Please

how a child’s future can be transformed with bibic's help.
Throughout 2007 Sigmer staff will also take part in a range
of activities in support of bibic.

a company-wide vote in 2006, IPC chose bibic as its first charity
of the year. In 2007 we decided to continue working with bibic
for a further year, and as a result our partnership will continue
until the end of 2008.
Company-wide
fundraising activities so far have included a 'Money Can't Buy'
auction, Christmas card sale, football tournament, wine tasting
competition in association with Decanter magazine and numerous
raffles and collection days. Some of IPC's magazines, including
InStyle, Woman's Own and Woman's Weekly, have also chosen to
feature bibic. In 2008 IPC will also be encouraging its employees
to take part in a range of fundraising activities to raise money
for bibic.
Jane
Boswell, IPC Media’s corporate responsibility manager, says:
“It's been exciting to work with bibic over the last 18 months
and we're looking forward to continuing our partnership throughout
2008 and hopefully raising more funds to help children with
learning difficulties. It's also been great to see so many of
our employees getting involved and coming up with fundraising
ideas."
