  • Big-Hearted BT Staff Pitching in to Take Soccer Aid Calls in Cardiff
    Jun 01, 2018 10:07 BST Big-hearted BT staff pitching in to take Soccer Aid calls in Cardiff If you’re planning to donate money to Soccer Aid on Sunday June 10, there’s a sporting chance your call might be answered in Cardiff. That’s because around 90 big-hearted BT and EE staff from south Wales are turning their offices in Stadium House, Cardiffinto a Soccer Aid pledge centre for the evening. They will be giving up their free time to answer calls whilst two star-studded teams – Robbie’s England and Usain Bolt’s World XI - battle it out at Manchester’s Old Trafford stadium. The teams this year will include Dan Carter, Michael Owen, Gordon Ramsay and Mo Farrah. All public donations to Soccer Aid will support charity Unicef's work protecting children in the UK and globally. An incredible £24 million has already been raised through the event over the last 10 years. The Government has promised to match every donation – and so double the total sum raised. In 2006, pop star Robbie Williams, who is a Unicef UK Ambassador, and his best mate Jonathan Wilkes came up with the idea of Soccer Aid. Robbie has captained the England team ever since. BT’s Kit Evans, who is helping to co-ordinate activities at the Cardiff contact centre, said: “The excitement around the office is building as we get closer to the big match. It’s great that so many employees from different parts of the company have given up their own time to get involved.
