Scotmid is inviting charities to become its new partner for 2022/23.
The community retailer is looking for an organisation that shares its values and passion for supporting local communities and would like to build a creative and fun partnership to encourage participation and fundraising from staff, members and customers alike.
With a presence in Scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland, the partnership must be able to span a wide geography. Applications are open until 5pm on Friday 6 May 2022.
To apply to be Scotmid’s Charity of the Year 2022/23, please go to https://scotmid.coop/community-and-charity/charity-of-the-year-applications/
Chief executive of Scotmid, John Brodie, said: “Our Charity Partnerships are incredibly important to us. Partners benefit from both an exceptional level of fundraising and extended support in their cause from our colleagues and communities. We are excited to hear about projects that can benefit our communities from new potential charity partners.”
Scotmid’s current Charity Partner is Children’s Hospice Association Scotland, better known as CHAS. Funds raised through the partnership have supported the vital development and expansion of CHAS’s outreach service, CHAS at Home, helping the charity on its ambitious mission of reaching every child and family that needs their help in communities across Scotland.
Angharad Low, corporate partnerships manager at CHAS, said: “It’s been great working with Scotmid to raise awareness and funds for our outreach service, CHAS at Home.
“The passion of Scotmid colleagues, members and customers makes the partnership really special. We’re so thankful for the funds that have been raised, which will help families receive quality care in the comfort of their own homes. We would absolutely recommend other charities apply!”
Three other children’s hospices across Scotmid’s trading areas have also benefited from funds raised: Jigsaw, Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice and St Oswald’s Hospice.
