Rewards For Rescue

Telephone: 01604 647770
Up until now most high street stores have offered special discounts to students, while discounts for those who work in the public sector have been rarely recognised. "Rewards for Rescue" have been campaigning to change this, in the belief that employees who work hard to care for us deserve recognition and respect from British businesses in return for caring and saving the public on a daily basis.
