William Turner raises nearly £9,000 for charity partner

Stockport-based family run school- and corporate-wear manufacturer, William Turner, has raised £8,967.41 for Together Trust through the company’s one-year charity partnership.

The Cheadle based charity supports children with complex needs and disabilities, and their family, and celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2020. William Turner chose Together Trust as their first charity partner because of their alignment in the education sector.

Daniel Turner, Managing Director of William Turner, said:

In 2019 we celebrated 50 years in business. Reaching half a century is a real milestone for any business, but at William Turner we’ve also passionate about supporting our local communities.

“Given the nature of our business we wanted to choose a local charity connected to education and as soon as one of our team mentioned the Together Trust I knew it was the one. We’ve all been so impressed with the work the charity does and the positive impact they have on the lives of so many local young people. It’s been a privilege to be involved in supporting that work.       

“We hadn’t partnered with a charity before and our experience of the team at the Together Trust has been extremely positive. They attended our events, invited us to theirs and gave us fundraising ideas and lots of material to help increase awareness in the company.

“We’ll be keeping in touch with our friends at Together Trust and wish them continued success in all the good work they’re doing.”

Alicen Thorn, Corporate Fundraiser at the Together Trust, said:

Everyone at William Turner has been so lovely and so generous with their time, throughout the year long partnership. Because the company manufactures all its products here in the North West all its staff had a real interest in the work that we do for local children and families, especially in our schools.

“We really do appreciate their generous donation and I’ll be keeping them updated on all the good that’s done with the money they’ve raised.”
