Sainsbury's customers & staff

raise money for AKPA

The J Sainsbury store in Brooks Road, Cambridge is giving much-valued support to AKPA this year. AKPA was chosen as their ‘Local Charity of the Month’ (for nearly two months in fact!), to which customers donate in wall-boxes near the checkouts. Staff at the store then supplemented this by fund-raising of their own; as a result a cheque for £150 was presented to AKPA outside the store on 14th June.

Our very friendly and helpful contact at the store has been Beverley Tumber, who explained that JS are particularly interested in supporting charities with strong local connections. We have gratefully accepted the offer of an AKPA collection weekend from 9th to 11th October, and there is talk of a possible Christmas raffle prize.

Our sincere thanks are due to Beverley and her colleagues.
