Queensferry Care gets a helping hand from the Screwfix Foundation

Queensferry Care 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.

Carol Findlay from Queensferry Care comments: “We are very grateful to The Screwfix Foundation for donating these much needed funds to support our charity. Queensferry Care provides quality support services to older people and carers within the communities of rural north-west Edinburgh. The funding will be used towards the cost of upgrading our communal facilities to make it more accessible. We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the fundraising – it’s been a great help to us.”

Mark Jeffs-Watts Store Manager of the Screwfix store in Livingston, 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 Queensferry Care.

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