STAFF at Howarth Timber & Building Supplies in Grimsby have announced a charity partnership which aims to raise thousands for disabled children living in the local area.
The Eastgate builder's merchant is the latest branch of the Howarth Timber Group to support Caudwell Children, which provides practical and emotional support for disabled children.
Staff at the branch will be taking part in different fundraising events over the coming months in a bid to support the charity as well as their local community.
Grimsby branch manager Ian Ribey said: "After hearing how the charity operates and what it has already done within the Grimsby area I couldn't be more pleased to be supporting Caudwell Children.
"Local communities are extremely important to them and despite operating all over the country, they are always looking at what they can do to benefit a community.
"A charity like this doesn't come around very often and you can really see the difference that they are making to people's lives."
Fundraising events will range from a 12-hour walking challenge to branch coffee mornings as employees are encouraged to get involved in various fundraising activities while finding out more about the work of the charity.
Caudwell Children already has a strong presence within the Grimsby area, having supported families across the region throughout its 13 year history.
Head of public relations Ben Sutcliffe said: "We are all very excited to be announcing this long-term partnership with the Howarth Timber Group. With branches in 28 different locations, the partnership provides us with the opportunity to really connect with local communities and spread the word about the help Caudwell Children can provide for families with disabled children."
Howarth Timber and Caudwell Children will be joining forces for the next three years.
