Our manager’s in the Plymouth area chose to support YMCA Plymouth, to support the great work they do, particularly with young people in our local community.”

Darren Lapthorn, Area Manager for Newton Abbot and Torquay, chose to donate to Children and Families in Grief, which adds to the funds they have raised for the charity through their annual Memorial Service which took place on 9^th December.

John added “I hope that our donations will benefit these fantastic local charities within the communities in which we serve our families.”
