Sunday 24 July 2016

Throughout the last 3 years we have been very lucky to be supported by many local businesses. 

Some have helped by donating a product or a service eg. free loan of a motor home for our charity sponsored walkers on their coast to coast.

Other companies have helped us by allowing us to fund raise on their premises.

One of those companies is Asda.

Asda has helped us at a couple of their local stores. 

We have been allowed to have 2 bucket shaking days at Asda Living at Crown Point shopping centre in Leeds. Both of the days were very successful and helped us raise much needed funds.

We have also been lucky enough to be one the Green Token Scheme charities that have gone up against other local charities and good causes. 
We won the green token scheme at both Asda Middleton & Asda Living and received cheques from both.

The Green Token Scheme has recently been revamped and we have again been put forward as a good cause charity for Asda Middleton store. 
When we last went to the shop we definitely had the most tokens in our pot so we think we may be in with a good chance of winning again.

Yesterday we had our most recent event at Asda Middleton. 
We held a Bag Packing Day, where 9 of our charity supporters went along to pack shoppers bags for a donation.
The shoppers at Asda Middleton were wonderful and gave us lots of support. 
Some shoppers even gave us a donation but didn't want us to pack for them. 
The generosity of people still amazes us.

Two of Charlies cousins, Rhiann(10) and Amy(8), also came along to give their support.
They were amazing throughout the event and contributed greatly to the day.

Rhiann stayed for the whole 5 hours that we were there and packed many shoppers bags. 
There were even shoppers who asked for her to pack their bags. 
I think the fact that she is very cute with a beautiful smile helped her to get lots of people to get behind her and donate lots of money.

Once we had finished the event we got all 3 of Charlies cousins to help us count all the money donated. They loved every minute of it and couldn't believe how much money people had given.

Our grand total for the day was £327.45.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the shoppers at Asda Middleton for supporting us and being so generous with their donations.

We would also like to say another massive Thank You to all the staff at Asda for allowing us to continue to fund raise within their store. Your help and support means so much to us and the bereaved families who will benefit from the money raised.
