Cambridge based charity gets a helping hand from The Screwfix Foundation

Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, based in Cambridge, is celebrating after being awarded £5,000 worth of funding from The Screwfix Foundation, a charity which supports projects to fix, repair, maintain and improve properties and facilities for those in need.

Lynn Morgan, CEO of Arthur Rank Hospice Charity comments: “We are very grateful to The Screwfix Foundation for donating these much needed funds to support our charity. Arthur Rank Hospice Charity supports adults in Cambridgeshire who are living with a life-limiting illness. The funding will be used towards the cost of furnishing a den room for children and young people to spend time in, when visiting a loved one at the Hospice. We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the fundraising – it’s been a great help to us.”

Jason Stampe, Store Manager of the Screwfix store in Cambridge – Clifton Road, comments: “We’re really pleased that one of our local charities has been awarded funding by The Screwfix Foundation. Staff from across the business have held a variety of fundraising events to raise vital funds for The Screwfix Foundation, so it’s fantastic to see the money we have raised being invested back into such a worthwhile community project.”

The Screwfix Foundation, which launched in April 2013 donates much needed funding to help a variety of local projects throughout the UK, from repairing buildings and improving community facilities, to improving the homes of people living with sickness or disability.

It also works closely with two national charity partners, Barnardo’s children’s charity and Macmillan Cancer Support, as well as supporting smaller, local registered charities like Arthur Rank Hospice Charity.

Relevant projects from across Cambridge are invited to apply online for a share of the funding at screwfixfoundation.com.
