Proudfoot Make A Difference For Futureworks

Local training and support charity Futureworks have received a charitable donation of £250 from Proudfoot supermarkets this month to help local disadvantaged teenagers work towards a brighter future.

Scarborough’s family-run Proudfoot supermarket group supported the charity through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally (MADL) charity, which raises funds from the sale of Heritage and Co-op own label products, in addition to funds raised via the four supermarkets’ in-store collecting tins.

Sarah Thornton, Company Director of Futureworks, said: “Our mission is to work within the community to provide support and guidance to young people as well as adults. We strive to encourage all ages to fulfil their potential through engagement, motivation and support. Changing lives is what we're about and what we do.

“This donation is gratefully received and will help with the support that we offer our learners and clients."

Valerie Aston, director at the Proudfoot Group, added: “We are delighted to be able to use our Making a Difference Locally funds to support good causes in the area.

“We would like to thank our customers for their continued support, through the in-store collecting tins and purchases of selected products in our stores; as without their support these community donations would not be possible.”
