The Wilkinson Grant & Company Charities

Like many businesses over the years we have lent our support to many charities but this year, following discussions with our colleagues and listening to many of our valued clients, we have chosen to lend our support to locally run, locally administered charities who are reliant upon fund raising in the local community.

Each month we will promote one charity in our advertising and marketing to raise awareness of the charity and any fund raising events they may have on the calendar for 2011 will appear on our website. We will donate £100 per week for that month plus where
possible actively participate with the charity with staff donating ‘payroll hours’ to help out.

Over the year we will have various fund-raising events of our own where the monies raised will be pooled equally between the charities.

You too can participate by collecting your WG Charity Reward card which can add to the combined fund raising “pot” for any introduced business during the course of the year. If you would like to be involved or want more information on our initiative please contact Lucy McGee on 01392 427500.
