Local cancer counselling charity We Hear You (WHY), has been awarded £500 in the Asda Foundation Green Token Giving scheme.
The scheme sees Asda’s charity, the Asda Foundation, invest £1million into local communities through Green Token Giving, supporting thousands of local good causes.
Jackie from Frome Asda said, “Very glad to meet up in town with Ruth and Mark this morning from We Hear You to present them with their £500 Green Token Giving winners cheque. The two runners up were Warminster Air Squadron Cadets (£400) and Wells City Brass Band (£300).”
About the cheque, Lucy Mcmahon said, “We’re delighted by this donation from Asda Foundation and for the generous longstanding support of Jackie and the team at ASDA Frome. The Frome store have supported WHY in many ways; donating goods for community events, fundraising within the staff team, allowing us to collect in store and volunteering in person at our events. Being chosen for the green token scheme in January was a great start to 2023 and we’re really grateful to everyone who took the time to vote for us. Our counselling services are under unprecedented demand, at a time when fundraising has never been more challenging, so this money is a fantastic boost as we work to meet the needs of our community.”
Voting for the scheme has been online since the Covid-19 pandemic.
