Leading Black Country law firm George Green LLP have presented local charity, Black Country Foodbank with a final donation, which draws to a close their fundraising and support over the past two years.
The Black Country Foodbank which has distribution centres in Brierley Hill and Stourbridge has received just over £6800.00 from George Green, since they were selected as the firm’s chosen charity in 2010. The Partners and Staff have been fundraising ever since, through a variety of means including dress down days, sponsored walks, cake sales and Partner Tim Lang taking part in the Wolverhampton to Aberdovey bike ride.
The organisation, which was started in 2006, currently has eight distribution centres across the region. The aim of the Foodbank is to give three days of nutritionally balanced food to people experiencing emotional or financial crisis.
Tim Lang, Employment Partner and champion of the George Green Charity Committee said “I am pleased to be able to present the Foodbank with this money. They do an amazing job in the local community, particularly in the current economic climate, with more and more people needing their help. I would like to thank my fellow Partners and colleagues at George Green LLP for getting behind our fundraising over the past two years.”
Wendy Fryatt from the Foodbank said “"We'd all like to thank all the staff and partners at George Green LLP for their massive efforts, we'll be able to do so much more with the money they have raised. Without the support of local businesses like George Green LLP and the whole community we could not continue to help those who find themselves in crisis situations and without the means to feed themselves or their family."
