WAITROSE

COMMUNITY MATTERS

PRESENTATION

SEPTEMBER 26^th 2011

We are so grateful to Waitrose,  Brent Cross, for giving us the opportunity to have a collection on behalf of Families Together London.  I went along with representatives of eight other charities who have taken part over the last three months to benefit from Waitrose’s generosity in supporting worthwhile causes in the London area and beyond.

We shared a month’s collection with a children’s charity and a volunteer force which helps to keep Hampstead Heath in good shape.

Each month Waitrose will donate £1,000 shared between three charities.  Shoppers are given little green discs which they place in the see-through containers for whichever charity they wish to support.  At the end of the month the discs are weighed and the money is then distributed.  We were delighted to receive a cheque for £225 which covers 3  months rent at our Battersea venue.

The presentation was made by Sarah Partridge, Personnel Manager at Brent Cross Waitrose.

It is a wonderful opportunity to gather funds to help us continue the work we do.   If anybody would like to participate, please get in touch with me via contact details on the website.
