The Animal Sanctuary Wilmslow
Over the next five years, we will be supporting The Animal Sanctuary Wilmslow during our annual will week. During this time we will provide wills to our clients at no cost and instead we will give them the option to make a donation to the sanctuary.
We have been supporting the charity in some capacity since 2014 which has included activities such as making charitable donations from unclaimed balances, assisting with legal advice and sponsoring the sanctuaries annual fundraising calendar. So far we have raised £5,520!
One of our more recent activities involved funding a new Pig Arc. Wilmslow Animal Sanctuary trustee, Colin Barton had this to say: “Our Pig Bella is now able to snuggle down in a warm and dry home, and would happily grunt her thanks for their generosity.” Read more about Bella's new home here.
Will Week is another great opportunity to further develop our partnership which has seen JBGass staff volunteering their skills as well as franking and sending all of the charity's annual donor newsletter when their machine broke down.
“It’s really important for us to be able to give back to the community in which we live and work and many of us have been touched by the kindness and good work that The Animal Sanctuary performs.” says our Marketing Director, Rick Barrow “It really has become our ‘pet’ charity and several staff members have adopted animals themselves.” Find out more about the fantastic work the charity does or how to get involved yourself at: www.heswilmslow.co.uk
Cheshire Youth Pantomime Society (CHYPS)
JBGass support CHYPS’ annual performance at The Woodford Centre through sponsorship of their souvenir programme.
CHYPS was formed in 2008 and their pantos are especially written to appeal to teenagers with large casts and great music. The shows are professionally staged with live music from a teenage band led by their Musical Director. CHYPS combines lots of fun, with hard work and the satisfaction of being part of shows that are a delight to watch.
CHYPS is non-profit making, relying on support from parents, schools, grants, local businesses and the skills and energy of individual helpers.
Ian Hunt, Chairman, CHYPS, said “We are extremely grateful to JBGass, and other local businesses for their support. Without it, CHYPS would not be able to provide local teenagers with an unforgettable experience that not only develops their artistic skills but also does wonders for their self-confidence and self-esteem. It also helps CHYPS provide a thoroughly entertaining, high quality, and low cost, traditional pantomime for over 800 local people each year.”
