OLD Trafford-based firm PH Media Group has launched its own charitable foundation to raise funds for a number of good causes.

The PHMG Foundation has been established to support of the company's chosen charities, reinforcing an existing commitment to corporate social responsibility.

The firm has already raised more than £6,000 for chosen charity Action on Hearing Loss last year and the company is now aiming to support a wider range of organisations.

This year, the list includes the British Heart Foundation, Alzheimer’s Society, Down’s Syndrome Association, NSPCC, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Christies Hospital, Francis House and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

Finance director Chris Berisford said: "PH Media Group is committed to using its position to exert a positive impact on both the immediate community and good causes across the UK.”
