Howard Lake | 10 February 2014 | News
Dobbies Garden Centres across the UK are each looking for a local charity to support this year. Applications are invited this month.
At the end of the process, 34 local charities will be chosen to benefit from a commercial partnership, which involves various support such as prize draw opportunities and in-store fundraising events.
In the last financial year Dobbies stores raised over £300,000 for charities across the UK in its local and national charity partnerships.
Tanya de Coning, community champion at Dobbies Garden Centre, Milton Keynes, said: “It’s that time of year again when we’re looking for a local charity partner to work with throughout the year. We’ve had great success with local charity partnerships in previous years and we’re looking forward to receiving nominations and applications. Our customers have always been extremely generous in supporting our charities, and will do all they can to take part in our fundraising activities planned throughout the year.”
How to apply
Local charities should contact the Community Champion at their local Dobbies Garden Centre or download the application form. Applications must be received by 28 February 2014.
