Sainsbury’s Frome held a festive raffle in December in aid of cancer counselling charity We Hear You (WHY).
The raffle forms part of the support offered by Sainsbury’s to WHY as its charity of the year 2018/19. WHY supporter and Pride of Britain finalist, Rachel Clark, drew the raffle in store on Friday 21st December and three winners took home a £200 voucher, a £50 voucher and a Christmas hamper respectively.
WHY communications assistant Lucy McMahon says, ‘It’s been a whirlwind few months as we were chosen as Charity of the Year in not just one, but three branches of Sainsbury’s. We’re delighted to have the support of Sainsbury’s in Frome, Bradford-on-Avon and Midsomer Norton, communities where WHY’s counselling service makes a difference to people coping with cancer or a life-threatening condition.
“The raffle was a fantastic part of the busy calendar of fundraising events at Sainsbury’s and we’re delighted that Hayley and Hannah in the Frome branch were able to run it for us. Huge thanks also to all of our hardworking volunteers who have covered the many bucket collections, bag packs, cycle challenges and tombolas and helped to sell so many raffle tickets. And of course, thank you to Rachel Clark for coming along to draw the raffle on the day ahead of starting her ‘mile a day’ challenge for our 25th anniversary!’
