Anglia Co-operative Community fund donates to MIND
June 2010
AN organisation helping people with mental health issues in the Peterborough and Fenland area to live full lives has been given a big boost by generous customers of Anglia Co-operative.
Peterborough and Fenland Mind has received a £6,000 donation from the Anglia Co-operative Community Fund, which has given over £600,000 to local worthy causes in the past 25 years.
A cheque was presented to Peterborough and Fenland Mind’s service development officer, Emily Gray, by Jean Humphreys, a member of Anglia Co-operative’s board of directors, at the city’s Westgate department store.
The money was raised by Anglia Co-operative customers who generously diverted their membership reward points into the community fund.
Emily Gray said: “It’s a wonderful gesture by Anglia Co-operative customers. The donation will really make a huge difference to us. It’s such a huge amount of money and we’re really excited by it.
“It will be used in so many different ways, including developing training courses in basic mental health awareness and stress in the workplace to take out to organisations and businesses in the area, and to set up a men’s group in Peterborough.”
Mrs Humphreys explained: “Causes are nominated each year by customers or members of the public and then a committee decides on which should receive donations.
“We haven’t supported a mental health charity for some years. We knew that the Peterborough area has an active Mind group and we’re delighted that this money really will be spent for the benefit of local people.”
