Westwood Cross' generous donations empower local charities
Celebrating Community Impact: Our Fundraising Efforts
Westwood Cross is proud to have raised over £3,000 to dedicated organisations making a positive difference in the local community over the last 12 months. This month we marked the culmination of our fundraising endeavours over the past year with a heartwarming cheque presentation ceremony where the total donations of £3,300 were presented to our charity partners and organisations.
1st St Lawrence Scout Group
The ceremony kicked off with a moment of pride as the enthusiastic Scouts from the 1st St Lawrence Scout Group accepted their £2,000 donation. This substantial contribution will be instrumental in the group's ambitious project to refurbish its beloved 1967 Hut, a cornerstone facility within the community.
East Kent Mind were presented with £1,000 to bolster their vital veterans project. This initiative aims to reach out to veterans who may not have access to traditional support services, focusing on alleviating loneliness, anxiety, and isolation.
A donation of £300 was also given to Demelza, an organisation dedicated to providing essential care and support to children and young people facing serious or life-limiting conditions. This contribution will directly support their mission to offer comfort and assistance to those in need.
"We are delighted to contribute to these outstanding organisations. Supporting local charities that make a real difference to people's lives is a key part of our commitment to the community, and we’re excited to continue fundraising in the coming months!"
