Over the last twelve months, Freebridge employees have raised £4,181 for the King’s Lynn Foodbank through a range of fundraising activities.
Each April Freebridge’s employees vote on a new organisation to support throughout the year, and for 2018/2019 they chose the Foodbank that operates out of King’s Lynn.
In order to raise money for the charity, employees arranged and took part in a variety of activities including a golf day, quiz nights, a World Cup sweepstake and a fishing day.
Tony Hall, Chief Executive of Freebridge, said: “I’m very proud of the efforts our employees, Tenant Panel members and Board members have made in respect of raising money for the King’s Lynn Foodbank. Over the years we’ve raised money for many organisations doing valuable work across West Norfolk, and this year I’m particularly pleased that they’ve been able to raise so much.”
Sandra Morgan, Volunteer and Fundraiser at the King’s Lynn Foodbank, said: “We would like to thank Freebridge for choosing the Kings Lynn Foodbank as their charity for 2018/2019, and for all their hard work. Also, to all the very generous donations of raffle prizes for both events from local businesses including Congham Hall, Downham Market Garden Centre, Shaun Hagen Motors and Dunston Hall.
“Fundraising is not an easy task, but on behalf of the Kings Lynn Foodbank, a huge thank you to everyone for their kindness, contribution and support in helping local people in crisis, it is greatly appreciated.”
