At our mail centres and offices up and down the country, we sort, on average, 58 million items each day,

of them based in mail centres and offices across the country.
When it comes to this programme our apprentices are among the highest performing in engineering
disciplines in the country. We have been named Employer of the Year by our training partner and our most
talented apprentices have won awards for practical and academic achievement, beating strong opposition in
the process.

The Yard in Edinburgh received £52,557 from Children in Need in
2013. The money provides supported play sessions for disabled
children and their families in a purpose built centre. It reduces
isolation, improves well being and gives the whole family a chance
to make friends with others in the same situation.
Please click the link to watch how this money changed the life of
one girl and her family and donate generously at break today.
Thank you!
