redspottedhanky.com, the online travel retailer, has raised£5,000 for the 2011 Prince’s Trust ‘Million Makers’ corporate challenge.

The charity competition, launched earlier this year, invited businesses to collectively raise £1 million. This funding will support the youth charity’s work with disadvantaged young people, helping them into jobs and training.

In support of the ‘Million Makers’ challenge, redspottedhanky.com has chosen to donate loyalty points, generated by employees who have booked travel on www.redspottedhanky.com, to The Prince’s Trust.

Andrea Morgan, director at redspottedhanky.com commented: “The loyalty points accumulated by our employees have the equivalent value of £5,000, which I am delighted to be presenting to The Prince’s Trust. At redspottedhanky.com we fully support the work The Trust does and we are extremely pleased to be contributing to it.”

‘Million Makers’ is a national competition which challenges teams of employees and university students to come together and raise £1 million for The Prince’s Trust by pitching their business plans to a ‘Dragons’ Den’ style panel, in order to secure an initial investment from The Prince’s Trust.

Teams from companies and organisations across the UK then implement and promote their own mini enterprise. The aspiring entrepreneurs must work together to turn seed funding into profit for The Prince’s Trust over the course of six months, competing against each other to run the most profitable mini enterprise.
