Leathersellers lists grant and charity recipients
04/10/2018
At a meeting on October 3, the company’s charity committee earmarked a total of £706,000 to be distributed. The following day, Leathersellers revealed the identities of the recipients of the money.
These range from funds for charities that look after disabled, vulnerable and abused adults and children in the south of England, London, Hertfordshire and Derby, to a young people’s resource centre in Wolverhampton and to an organisation that aims to promote greater participation in ballet among dancers from black and Asian backgrounds.
Another organisation to benefit will be Key4Life, which works with young men who are in prison or at risk from going to prison. “Our oldest charitable activities have been education, relief of need and the support of prisoners,” Leathersellers said. “So it makes perfect sense to award Key4Life a grant for its innovative rehabilitation programme for young men at risk of re-offending.”
And celebrating the company’s links to Lewisham, a former leather manufacturing district of London, Leathersellers earmarked two organisations there for grants: the first helps residents from low-income families gain full access to benefit payments, the second is an adventure playground for local children.
