Supermarket team raises over £1000 for Stockport charity

Staff at the Booths supermarket in Hale Barns have now raised over £1000 for Stockport charity, Together Trust, after participating in the Captain Tom 100 challenge.

The fundraiser included various challenges including scoring 100 goals in netball and skipping 100 times in a row with Booths customers generously supporting with donations throughout the event. The team at Booths have been regular supporters of the Together Trust and this challenge brought the total raised over the last year to over £1000.

The money raised will go to supporting the fostering service at Together Trust, which works to provide stable homes for young people who may not be able to live with their birth families.

Gail, a member of the team at the Hale Barns supermarket, is also a foster carer with the Stockport charity and expressed the difference the money raised could make for the young people in foster care:

“The Covid-19 pandemic has made it a really difficult year for young people in foster care and the foster carers themselves. It will be great to put the money raised towards a day out for all the young people and families to give them a well-deserved fun day at the beach.”
