Our charities
This year we will be supporting …
The Buddy Bag Foundation
The Buddy Bag Foundation was created in response to the rising number of children who enter emergency care after fleeing violent situations at home.
Restoring a sense of safety and security into a child’s life during a traumatic time is one of the first steps to recovery. By providing these children with a few essential items, our mission is to help make the transition into emergency care a little easier.
Shrewsbury Food Hub
Shrewsbury Food Hub is a volunteer-powered charity that stops food waste to protect the environment and strengthen our community in Shrewsbury. They collect surplus food from shops, manufacturers and farms and share it with community groups, saving them money.
They promote food waste reduction at home, where most waste happens.
“Every year we ask our staff to nominate charities that mean something to them, which is then followed by a vote, with the two most popular becoming our charities for the year.
Last year we were fundraising for Lingen Davies Cancer Fund and Shropshire MHS and raised just under £3,000, so our target for this year is to beat that total.
Our CSR team are now busy working on new fundraising ideas for our two new charities to run through the year, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with.”
Marie Bramwell, Managing Director
