A manufacturer based in Beverley, East Yorkshire has made a significant donation to multiple charities based in Yorkshire.
ABI UK Ltd has announced that they have donated £100,000 to four good causes. They say they have made the donations to support the truly amazing work undertaken by the charities.
Money was raised after the company pledged to donate £10 for every home sold since September 2021. Funds raised will be donated to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Candlelighters, Hull 4 Heroes and Neighbourhood Network.
Richard Jones, CEO at ABI, said:
“These charities are all incredibly close to our hearts, having been personally selected by team members across the business.”
“It’s so important to us to support such wonderful causes in our community, and these charities do some truly fantastic work.”
“We are committed to making sure every little thing we do makes a big difference.”
As part of their ongoing Veterans Village project in Hull, Hull 4 Heroes, a charity supporting ex-service personnel, will use the donations to help fund their efforts.
Hull4Heroes CEO, Paul Matson, said:
“Without generous donations such as this from ABI UK, we simply wouldn’t be able to provide the support that we do.”
“These funds will go such a long way in helping us to continue the work we do, which so many people across the region appreciate and need so much.”
Charities Grateful For Donation Made By East Yorkshire Manufacturer
Neighbourhood Network is also based in Hull. They say they put the funds towards growing its operations in the city. While they also will look to bring on more volunteers to support the charity’s efforts.
The Candlelighters Trust is a Leeds-based charity that supports children with cancer and their families. They say this donation will help to provide talking therapy for parents for a whole year.
Emily Wragg, CEO at Candlelighters Trust said:
“Families across Yorkshire use our services day in, day out. Without generous donations such as this one, we simply can’t provide that service we know is so needed.”
