SAINSBURY’S in Darwen has announced that the ReachOut Project, delivered by Groundwork Pennine Lancashire, will be its fundraising partner for the next year.
ReachOut helps young people participate in the community, bridging the generation gap and building confidence and self-esteem. The decision was made after customers voted online and in-store in May.
Darwen MP Jake Berry said: “I know what a difference the initiative has made to local charities in raising not just vital funds, but raising awareness of their causes too.
“I look forward to seeing how the partnership progresses over the coming months.”
Lesley Hall, of ReachOut, said: “The exposure and support is going to be massively beneficial to our charity and I would like to thank every Sainsbury’s Darwen customer who voted.”
