Carrier bags and charity - Alzheimer's Society

Hi folks,

Last week marked not only the end of the current financial quarter but also the end of the latest period of collecting money for charity from our sales of carrier bags.

This is our seventh full quarter and together we raised £11.56!

Last time I supported one of our customers - Matthew Dodwell - who ran the Bristol Half Marathon  yesterday to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, in honour of a close friend's young daughter who is a sufferer.

This time, I've supported the Alzheimer's Society in memory of Gerry Anderson, who sadly passed away in December, and other friends and family who have lost loved ones to this heartbreaking illness. If you'd like to make a donation of your own, their sponsorship page can be found hereMore information about the Alzheimer's Society can be found on their website.

The next carrier bag donation will be in early April as we move into the new financial year. If you have a charity you'd like Proud Lion to support, please email me at shop@proudlion.co.uk.
