Salop Leisure has been hard at work raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support this year and now the charity has thanked the caravan dealership for its “fantastic” support.
Across the firm’s ten-day West Midlands Caravan and Motorhome Show at its Shrewsbury outlet customers were asked to donate money when picking up a tea or coffee and in total this raised an impressive £655.74.
It comes just a couple of months after the Shropshire-based company raised £331 for its 2012 adopted charity during the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning event in February.
Macmillan Cancer Support’s Rachel Cooper thanked Salop for its efforts and said that the most recent cheque would fund a nurse to work for more than half a week.
“Three new Macmillan nurses were appointed to work in Shropshire last year due to magnificent fundraising in the county,” she revealed.
“We have appointed a GP facilitator to work with GP surgeries in Shropshire and we also want to establish an information centre at one of the two main hospitals in Shrewsbury or Telford.”
