Like many large organisations, Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) is pleased to make numerous donations to a wide range of charities every year, both as a Group and individually, as it’s c3,000 people take part in a wide range of fund raising events. That is why it is pleased to observe the International Day of Charity on 5 September.
The International Day of Charity was declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012. The prime purpose of the International Day of Charity is to raise awareness and provide a common platform for charity related activities all over the world for individuals, charitable, philanthropic and volunteer organisations for their own purposes on the local, national, regional and international level.
The date of 5 September was chosen in order to commemorate the anniversary of the passing away of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 “for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress, which also constitute a threat to peace.”
