PRESS RELEASE


Abbey Home Media Delighted at Double Whammy at Charity Award Ceremony

April 1st, 2003


ABBEY HOME MEDIA were commended in two categories last night at the NCH Challenge To Care Awards ceremony in recognition of their continued commitment to the NCH and other child-focused charities, including the NSPCC, Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Pre-School Learning Alliance.

Abbey Home were nominated, and given a special mention, in the category of Best Marketing Initiative for Calling All Toddlers 2, a completely not-for-profit pre-school compilation video project featuring episodes of some of the most famous and favourite children's characters such as The Tweenies, Postman Pat, Maisy, Spot, Thomas The Tank Engine and many more. To date £200,000 has been raised from sales of the video and has been presented to charity.

In Addition, Anne Miles, Joint Managing Director of Abbey, was presented with the award for Individual Supporter Of The Year. Anne championed the Calling All Toddlers 2 project and rallied around industry players, uniting them and gaining their support in what is normally a fiercely competitive market environment.

Anne's NCH recognition comes soon after she was announced Individual Of The Year at the BVA (British Video Association) awards in October 2002, denoting a determined dedication to both the industry and to those in need, which is widely recognised.

Indeed, Anne is currently focusing her attention on Calling All Toddlers 2 once again and aims to raise a further £300,000 for charity with a renewed Easter push on the title.

Abbey Home remain continually focused on raising funds for underprivileged and abused children. The proceeds presented to the NCH will help the charity to find families for children either permanently (adoption) or long term (fostering).
