Tamworth Wellbeing and Cancer Support Centre gets a helping hand from The Screwfix Foundation

Tamworth Wellbeing and Cancer Support Centre Charity, based in Staffordshire is celebrating after being awarded £4,000 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.

Paula Da-Silva from Tamworth Wellbeing and Cancer Support Centre comments: “We are very grateful to The Screwfix Foundation for donating these much-needed funds to support our charity. We are a self-funded registered charity that supports people affected by cancer and other chronic illnesses. Without this very generous donation we would not have been able to afford to upgrade the centre ourselves. We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the fundraising – it’s been a great help to us.”

Steve Dunston, Screwfix Foundation Trustee said: “Supporting charities such as Tamworth Wellbeing and Cancer Support Centre with much-needed funding to help fix, repair, maintain and improve their facilities is vital. It’s great to see this donation go toward such an important project that benefits those in need.”

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 Macmillan Cancer Support, as well as supporting smaller, local registered charities like Tamworth Wellbeing and Cancer Support Centre.
