2021 Charity Round Up | Passmore Group

27 January 2022

As a business we aim to go above and beyond for not only our employees and customers but to also do our part for local charities.

We’ve put together a round up of the amazing charities we donated to in 2021 as we look forward to our charity donation initiatives for 2022.

Kidz Klub

In April of 2021 instead of running our usual Easter competition online we decided to donate to a local children’s charity to spread some Easter joy.

Choosing Kidz Klub who support over 1000 wonderful children and their families per week, we headed to our local supermarket and purchased 40 Easter eggs.

Our donation went towards their ‘buses of blessings’ dropping off over 1100 gifts to children across Leeds.

In the first quarter (May to June) we raised a total of £120.90 for charity Age UK who provide advice, support and friendship to older people. A group of people we directly serve through our More Ability brand division.
