A children's charity is encouraging businesses to take part in a new initiative to help raise funds for the children of the fallen.

King's Lynn-based charity Scotty's Little Soldiers has launched Scotty's Business Heroes, a club aimed at businesses of all sizes to make a difference to children who have lost a parent in the armed forces.

Members of the initiative will be given the opportunity to work closely with the charity and to take part in a number of business development networking events.

Scotty's corporate fundraising manager Kate Dring said: 'We know there are many people who haven't heard of us and I believe they'll be moved by the work this charity does. We want to reach these like-minded people and provide them with opportunities where they can really make a difference.'

To get involved, email business@scottyslittlesoldiers.co.uk or call Kate Dring on 07392 868290.
