BP Vouchers for Volunteers allocated

BP, National

Last month, BP invited registered charities or volunteer organisations that rely on voluntary assistance and use vehicles to apply for thousands of BP fuel vouchers.

BP was overwhelmed by the response, with over 3000 applications received from around the country. The 322 successful applicants are listed at http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9015082&contentId=7027951
