Dobbies in Dunfermline seeks Local Charity of the Year

Dobbies Garden World in Dunfermline is inviting applications for a Local Charity of the Year from charities based within a 20-mile radius of their Fife Leisure Park store. Their chosen charity-partner will become the first recipient of fundraising activities at the Leisure Park store for the remainder of 2013.

The successful charity will be concerned with the welfare of children, elderly people, people with disabilities or with major health concerns, or else with environmental, wildlife or conservation issues. In-store fundraising events at Dobbies could include collection tins at till points, themed charity events, and fundraisers being invited into the store at key trading times.

Dunfermline MSP Bill Walker said: “This is a great opportunity for a local charity to partner up with a busy Dobbies store in 2013. I hope that charities working for the Dunfermline community will come forward and send in applications – there is nothing to lose.”

Full details on how to apply can be obtained in all Dobbies stores. Further information and an application form is also available at http://www.dobbies.com/Dobbies-in-the-community/C
