The CORGI Trust, registered charitable owner of the CORGI Group, has announced its new strategy for tackling issues that affect the gas industry at a reception today at Glaziers Hall, London Bridge.
The ‘Blue Flame’ strategy outlines the key activity surrounding the five current focus areas of The CORGI Trust; education and training; research; awareness raising; equipment e.g. Carbon Monoxide detectors, and governance of The Trust.
Speaking before the reception, Trust Manager Nigel Dumbrell said:
“The CORGI Trust has identified raising awareness of carbon monoxide poisoning and supporting research that will reduce the risk of death or injury from gas, as two key priorities. We aim to achieve these goals by funding research and other projects that promote gas safety and make a positive impact on our industry.
“Of course, to do this properly we need to engage with other organisations in our sector, so we will be sure to utilise the various industry contacts we have made in order to unite all interested parties and really make an impact.”
The ‘Blue Flame’ strategy outlines not only the activity that will be undertaken by The CORGI Trust over the next two years, it also highlights the need to generate income and work in ‘partnership’ with consumers, corporate businesses and government to enable The Trust to invest further into gas safety and to attract organisations or individuals to apply for funding from The Trust.
The key mission statement of The CORGI Trust:
‘Promoting gas afety and carbon monoxide awareness through education, research and advice.’
The CORGI Trust was set up in 2005 primarily to promote and support gas safety. The Trust is funded by Gift Aid from the commercial activities of the CORGI Group. For further information on The CORGI Trust and to download a copy of the ‘Blue Flame’ strategy visit:
