DG CARS HOSTS ROSIE MAY DAY EVENT IN HONOUR OF FAMILY LED FOUNDATION
On 20 May, DG Cars, Nottingham hosted a ‘Rosie May Day’ in honour of local charity partner, the Rosie May Foundation which was created 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 businesses to host events in May and June to mark what would have been Rosie May’s 31st birthday. Founded to provide families with positive future prospects so that children can grow up within safe communities, 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 PHV driving an accessible and attractive career choice for females. Since partnering with DG Cars in
12
2022, to encourage more women into the workforce through its train- ing programmes, the PHV firm has enlisted over 50 female drivers across its East Midlands network. In celebration of its Think Pink drivers, the Rosie May Day event – at DG Cars’ headquarters saw over 50 guests attend, including Think Pink Nottingham drivers and Cllr Audrey Dinnall, Chair of licensing, regulatory and appeals for Nottingham City Council. Attendees at the event were surrounded by the Foundation’s pink tuk tuks and the tuk box van, which served drinks and treats to
guests. The iconic tuk tuks were one of the first vehicles used in the Think Pink initiative when the Foundation began its work in South- east Asia, and it has now become synonymous with the charity. James Knox, integrator at DG Cars, said: “Our Think Pink drivers are vital to the success of our operation, so it felt like the perfect opportunity to thank them for their hard work, while also honouring Rosie May and the Storrie family. “We look forward to continuing to work closely with the Rosie May Foundation and Think Pink, in order to raise awareness of the Foundation, its commitment to help diverse communities and its work to encourage more women to pursue a professional, successful and supported driving career.” For more information about the Rosie May Foundation, click here:
