The Original Factory Shop in the News
Store staff aim to give a helping hand
STAFF at the Original Factory Shop in Charles Street, Milford Haven are aiming to make a difference to the community by choosing one local cause to be its charity partner for 2010.
Store manager Richard Johns told the Mercury: “The shop works hard at being part of local life and is always looking at ways it can put something back into the community.
“We’ve decided to support just one for 2010 so that we can really make a big difference to them.
“As we’re new to the town, we’re asking for nominations from anyone in Milford Haven who needs a helping hand, whether it’s a mothers and toddlers group, a local children’s football team or a support group of whatever kind.”
Anyone wishing to nominate their organisation can drop a letter off at the store by Friday, August 6 stating why they think that they should be the shop’s charity partner in Milford Haven.
“It’s really that simple,” says Richard.
“We’re looking to start the partnership with our first local cause as soon as possible so let’s get the nominations in so we can make our choice and start raising money.”
A programme of fundraising activity is planned by colleagues at the store throughout 2010, with a minimum target of £500 looking to be raised for the chosen charity.
