Introduction

According to new research from youatwork, the employee benefits division of Royal & SunAlliance, 37% of workers questioned said Luncheon Vouchers were their most highly valued perk.

A recent survey by the Abbey National found that a staggering 70% of office based employees now regularly eat lunch at their desks. Medical experts advise that a midday break is essential in order to function efficiently and effectively throughout the working afternoon.

Help Accor Services support children around the world with Plan International

Accor Services has teamed up with leading children's charity Plan International to support children around the world.

Plan currently work in 45 poor countries, where 1 out of every 4 children die before the age of five, and the ones that survive often go hungry and have no chance of learning to read and write.

Plan sits down with these children, their parents and the community to plan practical ways to provide all the things we take for granted, so that together they build schools, drill wells, get nurses trained and help families support themselves. This is all possible because a million people across the world sponsor a child with Plan and by doing so benefit many other children and communities.

Accor Services is encouraging all our clients, redeemers and service users to support Plan's work and sponsor a child.

How can you help?

You can sponsor a child for as little as £12 a month, or persuade your company to support Plan though donations, staff fundraising, payroll giving or gifts in kind. To find out more contact Ruth Baker at Plan on 020 7482 9593 or ruth.baker@plan-international.org. Visit www.plan-international.org
