The Screwfix Foundation supports Noah’s Place in Devon
Noah’s Place, based in Devon, is celebrating after being awarded £2712 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.
Keith Holland from Noah’s Place comments: “We are very grateful to The Screwfix Foundation for donating these much-needed funds to support our charity.
Noah’s Place supports adults with special support needs, our aim at Noah’s Place is to offer a way for our service users to gain confidence, provide meaningful activities, and acquire new skills that could lead to employment.
The funding was used to transform our garage into a workshop for our adults with special support needs to do crafts and woodwork. We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the fundraising – it’s been a great help to us.”
Andy Shaw, Store Manager of the Screwfix store in Bude, 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.
