A series of initiatives, including a selfie station, seasonal events and an onsite donation box, have contributed to the funds raised for The Lily Foundation, The Nest Project, RUHX Children’s Services and Off the Record.
The Nest Project provides free clothing, equipment and toiletries to children under the age of five in families who are experiencing financial pressure, whilst RUHX provides care to hospital patients across Bath, helping to reduce pressure on local hospitals and offer support to those seeking care.
The Lily Foundation is the UK’s leading mito charity, raising awareness, funding research and supporting families impacted by the life-limiting disease, whilst Off The Record Bath works to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of young people in the area.
Guy Henderson, centre director at SouthGate Bath, commented: “Supporting our local community is very important to us.
“We’re blown away by the fantastic contributions of visitors to the centre over the past year, and very proud that together we can help our charity partners continue their vital work.”
