A COMMUNITY fund has been boosted by a £10,000 donation.
The money for We Love Lichfield has been handed over by Fradley-based water bottling company Roxane UK.
The fund sees donations invested with the returns then distributed as grants for projects across Lichfield district.
Davy Brunel, from Roxane UK brand Aqua Pura, said the company had been keen to support the work We Love Lichfield carries out to help the voluntary sector.
“We are an international business but our heart is very much local with an amazing workforce from across the district of Lichfield.
“Indeed, we have some members of our team who, in their spare time, help in the local voluntary sector and they have been beneficiaries of We Love Lichfield funding.
“We Love Lichfield has worked tirelessly to help local organisations and we are delighted to support them.”
Elaine Hutchings BEM recently joined the We Love Lichfield advisory panel and was presented with the £10,000 donation at Roxane’s Fradley bottling plant with patron Simon Price.
She said:
“We Love Lichfield is a small fund wanting to make a big difference and to receive a donation from an international business like Roxane is amazing.
“The whole team are buzzing knowing that with this kind gift, we are going to help lots of people.”
Since starting over a decade ago, We Love Lichfield has given away just over £420,000 in 428 grants to 228 organisations.
