Sainsbury’s stores across the UK have announced the results of their recent vote for their Local Charity Partner for 2015-2016.
You can find out which charities were successful and which is your local charity partner by entering your postcode on the Sainsburys Local Charity website.
For example, staff and customers at Sainsbury’s Kempshott, in Basingstoke, welcomed volunteers from The Pink Place as their new Local Charity Partner last weekend. They raised over £250 during their two hour bag packing session.
The team from The Pink Place, including Kathy Williams are welcomed to Sainsbury’s Kempshott by Jason Elton, PR & Community Ambassador
Daryl Copper, Store Manager at Kempshott, said
“This year was the first year we asked our customers to vote for the charity they wanted us to support. It was fantastic to see the team from The Pink Place here and, we are looking forward to working closely with them during the next year.”
The Pink Place works to assist the well-being of those who have experienced or are experiencing cancer in the North Hampshire area.
Sainsbury’s stores have raised over £7 million for their Local Charity partners over the last seven years. Over 130,000 entries were received across the UK last year.
