Dobbies Southport welcomes new Local Charity Partner
DOBBIES Garden Centre, Southport, has announced its new Local Charity Partner for 2015. Community members were asked to nominate charities which were then invited to apply for the partnership, with other charities applying directly. The partnership will see Dobbies Southport pair up with Woodlands Animal Sanctuary for the company's financial year ahead. Every Dobbies store has a Community Champion who plans fun and inspiring fundraising events throughout the year. Jacqui Schober Thomson, Community Champion at Dobbies Southport, is sure that customers will get behind such a good cause that benefits the local community. The lead up to Easter is always busy in-store with Dobbies' own label Easter foodie favourites range, and 'bunny breakfasts' for children to enjoy, whilst visiting families can make a small donation in the dedicated buckets in store. Work with local charity partners complements Dobbies' national charity partnerships which this year will include a special 150th Anniversary Charity Partner selected by public vote. Dobbies is delighted to have raised over £350,000 for its charity partners across the UK during the last financial year.
