STAFF and customers at The Original Factory Shop in Amesbury have raised £462 for charity.
The shop organised regular fundraising events for the 2nd Amesbury Brownies as part of the Original Factory Shop’s Make a Difference in Your Community campaign.
Shops across the country have raised a total of £100,000 for local charities since it launched in January last year.
Store Manager Lorraine Goodwin said: “It’s fantastic to know that together with our customers we’ve helped to raise a huge amount of money for people in need, including £462 for 2nd Amesbury Brownies here in Amesbury.
“We’re passionate about supporting causes in our local community, close to our store and that's why we carefully chose 2nd Amesbury Brownies as our partner for 2011. We're hoping to raise even more funds before this year’s partnership ends in December.”
The Salisbury Street store will soon be launching a search for a new charity partner for 2012.
