The Original Factory Shop in the News
Bristol barn gets a cash injection
An appeal to restore Shirehampton's Tithe Barn received a fundraising boost this week as local shop workers pledged their support.
Staff at the Original Factory Shop, in High Street, have chosen the charity as their official partner for 2010, aiming to raise at least £500 with a series of events.
Store manager Ashley West said: "We had a great deal of interest in the campaign from local causes looking for a helping hand and it was a very difficult decision to make.
"Colleagues are very excited about the scheme and cannot wait to get stuck into the fundraising initiatives we have planned.
"Customers will have the chance to join in the fun in store to help us raise as much money as we can for this worthy cause."
On behalf of St Mary's Church, Tithe Barn Appeal Manager, James Harris said: "We are so grateful to the Original Factory Shop for picking us as their charity partner. The money they have raised this week will contribute towards bringing the Tithe Barn back into use for the benefit of the local community."
