Squire’s Garden Centres has once again shown its support for local charitable causes in the community, through its ‘Charity of the Year’ programme, raising over £25,000 across its 16 centres and Group Office.
The Clasp in Wokingham managed to raise a whopping £1449 over the course of the programme.
The initiative, which is now going into its thirteenth year, sees each centre choose a local charity to work with over the course of the year, running August 1 to July 31.
As well as the crucial fundraising, working together often provides a platform to help communicate the charity’s work and relevance to local people and the community.
In some cases, there may be the opportunity for a charity’s clients to be involved with the centre providing valuable learning opportunities and experiences.
Funds raised over the course of the year comes from a variety of fundraising initiatives and are centre led.
