At S&A Produce, we take great pride in supporting the local community wherever we can, working with schools, colleges, local charities and other worthy organisations. This year, our work has been delivered through sponsorships, donations, and in some cases simply by lending a hand. Here is a little round-up of ways we contributed to the community during the summer:
-
St. Michael’s Hospice Flower Festival
Our employees voluntarily manned a stand for the sale of fresh berries at St. Michael’s Hospice Flower Festival on the Preview Night and Day 1 of the Festival.
-
Brierley Village Notice Board
A group of our employees were delighted to give something to the local village by designing and making a new noticeboard in our workshop for Brierley.
-
ECHO Leominster
We were a primary funder for ECHOfest; a day of music, theatre and activities.
-
Fruit Donations
Over the summer we received many requests for donations of fruit in support of events during school term time, as well as towards many local fundraising activities. Along with these donations, we also donated fruit to other organisations such as our local care homes. The berries were enjoyed by all!
