Here at Ramsdens we have been working with local charity, Flag Fundraising, to help them achieve their appeal goal to collect 3,000 chocolate eggs in time for Easter.
Flag Fundraising consists of 4 members who fundraise full-time, including our very own Bethany Thompson and another 4/5 members who assist on an as and when basis. The group fundraise for multiple charities based all across the country.
This year Flag held an Easter Egg Appeal with an aim to collect 3,000 eggs and drive from Wakefield to the Scottish border, whilst another team drove down to the Scottish border, to distribute them. The team made a total of 25 pit stops at organisations which included, Hospitals, food banks and charities for children that are less-fortunate or ill, one of which included the Huddersfield Food Bank.
Bethany Thompson commented: “Flag Fundraising would like to thank everyone at Ramsdens for your generous donations, Ramsdens alone managed to fund over 200 eggs and for that we are grateful. We managed to donate over 4000 eggs to different charities, food banks, hospitals and organisations supporting poorly, disadvantaged children and thanks to your help there will be many happy children this Easter.”
