Clitheroe store launches fund-raising campaign
A YEAR-LONG fund-raising effort for a local good cause has begun at a busy Clitheroe store.
Last September the Original Factory Shop, in Shawbridge Street, asked through our pages for nominations of local groups, charities, clubs or organisations to benefit from it's fund-raising efforts in 2010.
After looking at all the nominations, it has chosen Clitheroe Youth Forum as its charity partner for 2010. Now colleagues at the store are gearing up to support the local group for the next 12 months.
A busy programme of fund-raising activity is planned, with a minimum target of 500 looking to be raised for the organisation. It all began with a special launch at the value-for-money store last weekend.
Store Manager Cassie Hughes said: "We had a great deal of interest in the campaign from local causes looking for a helping hand and it was a very difficult decision to make. We have chosen Clitheroe Youth Forum as we feel that we can really help over the next 12 months.
"Colleagues are very excited about the scheme and cannot wait to get stuck into the fundraising initiatives we have planned."
