“To Vodafone social investment is at the heart of how we engage with our customers, employees, suppliers, investors and the community. The Employee Contribution Scheme is one initiative that underlines the fact that Vodafone, together with its employees believes in helping charitable institutions such as Puttinu Cares which carry out sterling work in our community.”

This year, the Puttinu Cares Football Marathon raised almost €1.4 million. The funds will be used to pay for 12 apartments in Sutton, London which are currently being used to accomodate patients and their family who need to be taken to London for hospital care, particularly at the Royal Marsden cancer hospital.
