Hankook proves itself good egg to local charities with Easter donation

Hankook Tyre UK has a diverse product portfolio, but when it comes to Easter the company has put all its eggs in one basket – and donated them to local charities and centres for children and adults with learning disabilities and autism. The tyre maker has donated hundred of Easter eggs to the Daventry-based Sure Start Children’s Centre, The Cube Disability, a centre for adults with learning disabilities and autism, and Northampton based charity Kidsaid.

The Cube offers a comprehensive day care service for adults with learning difficulties and autism. It provides a wide range of quality, rewarding activities and experiences, combining education and fun. The Cube has a total of three centres in Northamptonshire including its Daventry centre at Bishop Crewe House. “Hankook of Daventry have very kindly chosen our clients with learning disabilities to receive Easter Egg gifts,” commented Spencer Freed, manager of The Cube Disability in Daventry. “The clients are thrilled to have been chosen and we wish to thank Hankook for their continued support of disability within our community.”

Tony Lee, managing director of Hankook Tyre UK added” “Hankook have been based in Daventry in Northamptonshire for many years now and we feel it is important to support our local community. We have decided to continue the Easter tradition once again this year.”

Sure Start is a voluntary centre for local parents, parents-to-be and carers with children aged five and under. It provides an integrated programme of early support and intervention to children and families to meet their needs enabling and empowering service users to stretch their aspirations and improve their outcomes. “We would like to thank Hankook Tyres for their donation of Easter Eggs which will make a difference to lots of children and their families,” said
Teresa Humpage, healthy child worker volunteer at Surestart. “The Easter Eggs will be used in our Easter Egg Hunt which will create a fun outdoors activity they can do together as a family whilst socialising with others.”

Kidsaid is a midlands-based charity who work with children and young people who have suffered from traumatic events, ranging from illness and peer pressure through to family breakdown, bereavement, domestic violence and abuse.
