Local Sainsbury’s store makes HSWL their charity partner of the year
Headway South West London are pleased to announce that the Sainsbury’s Local on Worple Road in Raynes Park have made Headway South West London their charity partner of the year.
Here store manager Simon explains a bit about the store’s hopes for the partnership:
“We chose HSWL as our charitypartner for the forthcoming year as they are a local charity supporting a cause we all believe in, and the aim is to celebrate and support HSWL by engaging our colleagues and customers into getting involved with raising awareness of HSWL and all its good work.
Over the course of the year we hope to raise funds through in store collection boxes and supporting in any additional activities HSWL may wish to carry out at the store.”
