Our thanks go to Waitrose, Stratford upon Avon, and their Shoppers for selecting the Friendship Project to be part of their Community Chest in December, 2012. During this Christmas period Waitrose decided on a “no frills” advertising campaign which diverted the costs of Advertising towards Charities. The Friendship Project benefited in this respect by having the amount raised by Customer donation DOUBLED! Therefore the amazing sum of £900 was awarded to us, which will enable the Project to continue with the sterling work in assisting disadvantaged children. Our thanks also go to Older Friend Lorraine Tustin (Warwick Branch) who initiated our inclusion in the Community Matters process.
