Rotary supports MK Hospital’s Cancer Centre Appeal
Sainsburys and Wolverton & Stony Stratford work together
As a way of showing its appreciation to Sainsbury’s for allowing Wolverton & Stony Stratford Rotary Club to collect at their Central Milton Keynes store during the week before Christmas, the club has traditionally offered some of its proceeds to a charity nominated by the store and its shoppers.
This year Sainsbury’s chosen charity of the year is Milton Keynes Hospital’s Charity Cancer Centre Appeal and through the generosity of the store’s shoppers the Rotary club was delighted to be able make a donation of £1,000 towards this important local appeal.
Pictured receiving the cheque from Rotary President Alan Swann are representatives of the Cancer Centre Appeal, together with Rob Johnson, the store manager and Rotary club members.
