SCREWFIX STAFF TO RUN 10 KILOMETRES FOR CHARITY
A team from the Screwfix
store in Southport is taking part in The Natterjack Seaside 10k run
to raise money for The Screwfix Foundation, a charity which supports
projects to fix, repair, maintain and improve properties and
facilities for those in need.
Management and staff from the Southport store, along with their Area
Manager, are taking part in the event at Princes Park on Sunday, 22
September 2013.
Antony Spencer, area manager, comments:- "We're all looking
forward to The Natterjack Seaside 10k. The team and I are going to
put on our running shoes for The Screwfix Foundation and try to
raise much needed money by taking part. We’re been training hard and
are looking forward to joining the rest of the runners on the day."
The Screwfix Foundation launched earlier this year and donates much
needed funding to help a variety of projects, from repairing
buildings and improving facilities in deprived areas, to decorating
the homes of people living with sickness or disability.
It works with two national charity partners, Barnardo's children’s
charity and Macmillan Cancer Support, as well as lending a welcome
helping hand to smaller, local registered charities behind projects
which involve fixing, maintaining or repairing buildings or
facilities for those in need. Relevant projects in Stourbridge are
invited to apply online for a share of the funding at:-
screwfixfoundation.com.
Guy Eccles, trustee of The Screwfix Foundation said:- "The
Screwfix Foundation relies on the money raised by fundraising events
across the country in and around our Screwfix stores. We're
delighted that colleagues and customers in Southport are getting
behind the charity and doing this fantastic activity to raise money
which we will then donate to our well deserving national and local
charity partners."
