Store names its charity of the year
TODMORDEN Together has been chosen as the charity of the year of the local branch of the Original Factory Shop
Following an appeal to the community to nominate local causes, colleagues at the store, on Halifax Road, have launched a year long programme of fundraising activity, and set a minimum target of 500.
Store manager, Michaela Tidswell said: "We had a great deal of interest in the campaign from local causes looking for a helping hand and it was a very difficult decision to make.
"We have chosen Todmorden Tog-ether as we feel that we can really help over the next 12 months.
"Colleagues are very excited about the scheme and cannot wait to get stuck into the fundraising initiatives we have planned."
Louise Castro, of Todmorden Toge-ther, said the news had come out of the blue.
"This came as a real surprise; we're delighted to have been chosen and to have their support.
"Michaela, the manager there, has been great and understands how busy we are so she's taken it all on board and, along with the staff, is just getting on with it.
"We'd like to do something specific with this funding so it will be going towards Kidsfest this year.
"In fact Michaela has brought her family to Kidsfest and they all enjoyed it."
