More than £1,000 has been raised for Help for Heroes thanks to the generosity of shoppers at a branch of Poundstretcher.<\/p>\n
Consumers at the company's Evesham store have donated £1,052 in response to an appeal that involved selling branded Union Jack lapel badges and wristbands in support of the charity, reports the Tewkesbury Admag.<\/p>\n
Ian Baldry, Worcestershire county coordinator, said the sum was generated in just a short period of fundraising.<\/p>\n
"Help for Heroes are most grateful for the ongoing generosity shown by the shoppers, along with the enthusiasm of the staff," he stated.<\/p>\n
Anyone who missed the fundraising appeal but still wants to donate some money can do so by visiting Worcestershire's Help for Heroes pages on Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n
All of the money raised will be given to the charity to support its ongoing work to help injured and wounded servicemen and women once they leave the forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
