Other fundraising
Discussed applying to be one of Waitrose monthly charities (via their ‘Green Disc’ initiative). All that
is required is our Charity number (1126327) and a completed form which can be obtained in store.
Suggested that our fundraising aim for this particular method of fundraising would be for the
