THE owner of a recruitment agency has organised the recording of a song Band Aid style to raise £10,000 for a children’s charity.

Kate Gibson, 38 - owner of Pier Recruitment in Western Road, Hove - is passionate about Rockinghorse children’s charity which is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

She has supported the charity for a number of years and wanted to do something special for this Christmas.

So she joined with a group of companies to write and and record the song called Santa Stop Here.

Nine companies donated £4,600 to take part in the recording.

They were The Focus Group, Posh Totty Designs, Zsta Architects, Mercedes, Quality Care Insurance, Domestic and General, Cobb Digital, Holiday and Neilson Holidays.

The project’s four sponsors were QA Apprenticeships. Natural World Safaris, Purple Armadillo Pubs and Harper Stone Properties.

The children starring in the video are from Brighton Institute of Contemporary Theatre Training in Bird Studios, New England Street, Brighton.

It was produced by Soren Pople, HUGA Digital Marketing and Mike Sandman from North Brighton Recordings.

Kate said: “This has just been amazing from the moment I came up with the idea.

“I am incredibly touched by the generosity of so many kind businesses and individuals throughout the city.

“But now it’s full steam ahead and I am urging people to read this and then go and donate.

“It really will make a difference to the people who use this wonderful charity which does such great work.

“Staff went all around the city contacting businesses and for nine to pay to sing and record is just great. I can’t thank them all enough.”

The firm has already racked up almost £6,000 after receiving donations from businesses across Brighton and Hove.

A launch night was held at the Grand Hotel which raised £1,285 through raffle ticket sales.

The public is now being asked to deep and give what they can afford.

Pier Recruitment has made a video for the song which can be found on YouTube.

To donate to the cause, text PIER17 and the amount you want to give to 70070, for example PIER17 £5.
