Thank you to staff at the Northampton branch of Coventry Building Society for their incredible ongoing support [caption id="attachment_2638" align="aligncenter" width="980"] With staff at the branch's celebration day following their refurbishment[/caption] We are thrilled and so grateful that the Northampton branch of Coventry Building Society are continuing as our Community Partner for 2019.
Following a recent refurbishment at their branch they invited us along for a ‘celebration day’ last month where we got to meet and chat to some of the lovely customers who support the charity, as well as the wonderful staff.
Community Coordinator Amy Armstrong presented a cheque to us for £181.33 raised in aid of the Short Break Centres.
They have provided some incredible support for the centres over the last few years donating over £4,100.
Most recently, they secured a grant for some amazing wood carvings for the garden at John Greenwood Shipman and have submitted another grant this year to support The Squirrels.

These have included helping to clean up the gardens, paint fences, attend cake sales and run their own raffles to help raise funds.
The current staff will also be volunteering some time again this year to help children with some arts and crafts activities.
Thank you all so much for this wonderful continued support!
