Integral blinds manufacturer, Morley Glass & Glazing, has supported more than 20 charities during its 20th anniversary year.
Ian Short, MD, said: “As a successful business we’ve always felt that we should give back where we can and have always done so throughout our 20 years. We’ve made a special effort in our 20th anniversary to help even more good causes in our local community and beyond, with cash or in-kind donations.
“We’ve supported a wide range of well-deserving organisations from grass roots sports clubs and dance societies to large charities and more local good causes. It is tremendously rewarding to see how even a relatively small contribution can make a huge difference to so many people – and we’d encourage other businesses to do the same.
“A personal highlight was to see the donation of a Variety Sunshine Coach to Mill Field Primary School, as the result of me learning the Samba and taking part in (and winning) the Variety Strictly Ballroom Challenge last year. I felt truly humbled that so many people took the time and effort to sponsor and support me.”
Recent donations by the business have made it possible for Freedom to Dance to offer a new dancing scholarship, allowed Moortown Rugby Club to resurface one of its pitches and provided a youth charity with improved gym facilities.
