Local Nottingham taxi firm DG Cars has hosted an awareness day in aid of a charity which aims to ensure children can grow up within safe community.
The charity, the Rosie May Foundation, was started in 2004 by Graham and Mary Storrie following the tragic death of their daughter, Rosie May. Since then, its team has been encouraging the public and local business partners to host events to mark what would have been their daughter’s 31st birthday.
The Rosie May Foundation is headquartered in Nottingham, with facilities in both Sri Lanka and Nepal, all used to support families in crisis around the globe through education and empowerment schemes.
One such scheme is the Think Pink initiative, created with the aim of making taxi and private hire vehicle driving an accessible and attractive career choice for females.
In celebration of the campaign, DG Cars hosted the Rosie May Day event – held at its central Nottingham headquarters – which saw over 50 guests attend.
Mary Storrie, founder of the Rosie May Foundation, said:
On behalf of myself and the family, I’d like to say a huge thank you to DG Cars for hosting its own Rosie May Day, and for its continued support alongside the Think Pink drivers of Nottingham. Without taxi firms like DG Cars, we wouldn’t have such a successful initiative where we can continue to inspire girls and women to be safe, but also feel empowered in a career that they might not have thought about.
Commenting on the event, James Knox, integrator at DG Cars, said:
Ever since joining forces with the Rosie May Foundation and Think Pink in 2022, we have seen first- hand the incredible work they do to help rebuild families and children’s lives in local and global communities.
