charities

As a company we are regularly approached by organisations and individuals looking for different forms of sponsorship / donations / financial assistance for a variety of sound and crucial reasons. Two years ago we decided as a team to concentrate our efforts each year on four different, local charities where we felt we could make the most impression.

For 2009 we will, once again be helping the Youth Cancer Trust in the form of regular donations of product for the Tracey Ann House where children and young adults with life limiting illnesses spend happy holidays in Dorset www.yct.org.uk
