December 2nd, 2022
Directors and staff from Specsavers in Sutton Coldfield and Mere Green have raised £1030 for Our Place Support – a local support hub in Farthing Lane, Royal Sutton Coldfield.
Tim Goodhew, Retail Director Specsavers Sutton Coldfield & Mere Green said: “We’re delighted to be a Supporting Sponsor of the Fun Run which has been an integral event in the royal town for forty years.
“We have always chosen to support a local organisation based within the town, and with the challenges faced over the last few years due to Covid restrictions and now the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, we couldn’t have chosen a better organisation than Our Place Support which provides advice and support to many different groups across the town.”
Kelly Round, CEO of Our Place Support said: “I can only thank Tim and the team at Specsavers Sutton Coldfield & Mere Green for choosing to raise money for Our Place Support. Demand for the range of services we offer has grown significantly over the last few years due to Covid restrictions and now with the ongoing challenges on home finances, we’re continuing to see that demand rise further.
“The cornerstone of Our Place is to provide impacting frontline support services that meet the needs of those within our local community. As a Community Interest Company, we rely on grants and donations to be able to deliver quality advice and support. Every pound we receive makes a difference, so we’re extremely grateful to Tim and his colleagues at Specsavers for their support.”
