In the weeks leading up to celebrating our 20 years in business, we’re selecting 8 charities / organisations within the Ilkeston and Derbyshire area to receive a cash donation. Each of these wonderful groups offer various services, resources, support and more to the local community and we’re excited to share them with you all.
In addition to our donation, across the next few weeks we’ll be featuring a sensory spotlight on each individually so you can learn more about these fantastic organisations, the services they provide, how they plan on using their donation, and how you can also help to support.
