EMA are, like Cord, based in Leamington Spa but work nationally in the UK. Cord was attractive as a charity partner not only because of our excellent work but also because of our international reach; EMA was not content just to support local charities.
Cord offers EMA opportunities to raise their profile locally through sponsorship of mailings and of fundraising concerts; and Cord has benefitted from EMA’s support in kind, of human resources consultancy skills.

 Long term corporate supporters of Cord, the company chose to help refugees who are returning home after years of war to find their country devastated and their homes destroyed. Cord is working to help rebuild roads and bridges, provide a seed bank, build new homes and repair schools.
‘Shoezone’s generosity means that our Country Director and his team will be able to get about and work much more effectively in this huge region’ said Cord’s Chief Executive, Brian Wakley. ‘Our existing vehicle has served in Mozambique and Tanzania and done loyal service, but it is literally falling apart and is unreliable.
