Squire’s Garden Centres has announced its Charities of the Year for 2017/2018 including Princess Alice Hospice, Horsley & Bookham Riding for the Disabled, the 1st Fetcham Scout Group and the Aldershot & Farnborough Guide Dog Association.

Team members at each Squire’s Garden Centre chose a local charity that they wanted to support. They will raise awareness of their chosen charity in the garden centre and through their marketing materials, as well as providing ongoing fundraising from collection boxes, events and Squire’s Christmas Grotto’s. All donations from the public will go directly to the charity.

“Our Christmas Grottos alone raised over £24,000 for our chosen charities last year so I hope that we will be able to repeat this success again this year,” said deputy chairman Sarah Squire. “All of our centres are really looking forward to working with their chosen charity and supporting their wonderful work in the local community.”
