Wetwheels Yorkshire, have received a charitable donation of £1,000 from Proudfoot supermarkets to help fund and support young people’s access to one of their adventures out to sea.
The donation comes from Proudfoot’s Making A Difference Locally Charity which teamed up with Mars Galxy Ripple for the fundraiser.
Peter Richardson on behalf of Wetwheels Yorkshire said:
“Wetwheels provides the opportunity for all disabled people, including those with profound and complex disabilities, to access the sea in a safe, stimulating and rewarding way on board specially-built, fully-accessible powerboats.
By offering the opportunity to experience this as active participants we build confidence and improve physical and mental wellbeing.
A donation of £1,000 would enable as many as 60 young people from the Scarborough area to take part in a Wetwheels adventure”
Valerie Aston, director at the Proudfoot Group, added:
“We are delighted to be able to use our Making a Difference Locally funds to support good causes in our area local area. Working with Mars Galaxy Ripple, these additional funds were made available to continue the valuable work Wetwheels Yorkshire do, in ensuring access for all, including the sea and our wonderful coastline.
“We would like to thank Mars Galaxy Ripple for their offer of additional funding and our customers for their continued support, through the in-store collecting tins and purchases of Co-op products in our stores; as without their support these community donations would not be possible.”
Nisa’s registered charity, Making a Difference Locally, has been proudly supporting good causes since 2008 and has to- date has donated over £16 million to causes across the Uk.
Making a Difference Locally (MADL) raises funds in Nisa partner stores from sales of all Co-op own-brand products, a percentage of which goes into a virtual fund for retailers to donate. Stores are then able to donate money raised to a local charity or good cause of their choice within a 10-mile radius, ensuring the funds raised benefit their local community.
