East Yorkshire independent forecourt retailer and Co-op Wholesale member, Sewell On The Go, has donated £10,000 to support five community organisations through the Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity and its Heart of the Community Funding Giveaway.
With 12 stores across Hull and East Yorkshire, the retailer selected a group of charities whose work supports some of the region’s most vulnerable people, including families affected by loss, children lacking access to opportunities, individuals experiencing homelessness, and seafaring families in crisis.
Patrick Sewell said: “We’re a local family business and community is at the heart of everything we do. We’re incredibly proud to support organisations making a real difference in the lives of people across Hull and East Yorkshire.”
The charities receiving £2k donations were baby loss support hub, Chasing Rainbows, street kitchen Ladled with Love, Hull & East Yorkshire Children’s University, the Sailor’s Children’s Charity and the Paul 4 Brain Charity initiative.
Karl Skerrett, co‑founder of Ladled With Love, said: “We’re a volunteer‑run street kitchen supporting Hull’s homeless, vulnerable, and struggling families with hot meals, drinks and surplus food.
“As we receive no formal funding, providing enough meals can be a challenge. This support enabled us to deliver our free Christmas Day event at Hull Minster, offering a full Christmas dinner and gifts to anyone who is alone or struggling this year.”
