Shop’s fat cheque for Artlink Central
Artlink Central has benefited from fundraising efforts of staff at the Fatface store in The Thistles, Stirling.
The charity supports arts opportunities for children and adults with disabilities, including people living with dementia or experiencing mental health issues.
Fatface staff took part in a‘Thanks for Giving’campaign focused on Black Friday and have adopted Artlink Central as their charity of choice, raising a total of £532.50 through the company initiative, displaying information and artwork by Artlink Central and also collecting additional donations on an ongoing basis.
The‘Thanks for Giving’campaign has seen Fatface make a total donation of £200,000 to local charities around the UK.
Director of Artlink Central, Kevin Harrison, said:“It was brilliant to have the support of Fatface at a time when Artlink Central needs the support of local people and businesses more than ever.
“We were excited to meet the Fatface team, who have been incredibly enthusiastic. They were very open to ideas, creative and we were so pleased to receive their support, which will go towards artists working with vulnerable people supporting their wellbeing and encouraging their creativity.”
Store manager Hannah Dickson said: “Myself and some of my crew members have had experience in our families of both mental health issues and dementia and we are keen to support Artlink Central.
“A few of us also have an arty background so these guys were our obvious choice.”
