Local charity benefits from COP26 legacy

With time and money saved, Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity can confidently focus on raising essential funds.

About the Client

Xerox was the official print provider for the COP26 conference. A legacy of this landmark event was the distribution of the remanufactured devices to local charities, including Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity (GCHC).

The Challenge

An influx of new staff required swift onboarding

Managing the sensitive data collected via parental consent forms securely is also a priority for the Charity, and dependency on donations is more challenging than ever.
