Enfields complete run for local charity
"Enfields maintain a working in the community strategy throughout its franchise branch network. The scheme is aimed at forming strong links with the local community through support for, charity, organisations and events." - Robb Mott, Enfields
Enfields has raised over £700 for charity partner Simon Says by running in B&Q’s 10k event. PA to the Managing Directors, Jan Whitewick and Training Director, Chris Challis have been in preparation for months and completed the course that started from Fleming Park Leisure Centre, Eastleigh in just 52 minutes.
The B&Q run is organised annually and this year Enfields chose to support its nominated charity partner Simon Says – an organisation dedicated to helping children who are bereaved. Proceeds raised from last week’s run will help Simon Says volunteers carry out their invaluable work which includes maintaining an advice line, holding seminars for child carers, building links with local organisations and schools and providing activity days for bereaved children.
Simon Says was founded 5 years ago by Sally Stanley after her husband Simon died following a terminal illness. Realising that there was little support available for her two children, Sally established the charity that now has 18 volunteers. Without the support of the public and initiatives, such as Enfields, this much-needed service would no longer be available. Enfields maintain a working in the community strategy throughout its franchise branch network. The scheme is aimed at forming strong links with the local community through support for, charity, organisations and events.
