QUEENSGATE LOOKING FOR CHARITY PARTNER

Queensgate shopping centre is looking for a new charity partner for the year April 2012 to March 2013.

Each year the centre receives many requests to assist and support a wide range of charities and during 2011 worked closely with the Royal National Institute of Blind People as its ‘charity of the year.’ Through several fun events including a bed making competition, space hopper race, book sale and a charity Christmas gift wrapping stand, Queensgate helped the RNIB raise just more than £8,000 which will be used to help visually impaired people in the local area.

The centre’s now actively searching for a new charity partner who’ll provide a varied programme of fund raising activity, have a proactive, professional fundraising team and a natural affinity with Peterborough and Queensgate customers.

Phil Drinkwater, marketing manager at Queensgate told ESP – “We have really enjoyed working with RNIB throughout 2011 and are delighted to have helped raise valuable funds for their charity which will really make a difference. We look forward to welcoming all applicants who wish to partner with Queensgate this year.”

If you feel that your charity would be able to partner with Queensgate from April 2012 to March 2013, please contact Gayle Lobozzo in the management suite on 01733 311666 for an application form – applications close March 9.
