A charity has received a donation from the TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation’s Community Fund programme.
Rochdale Connections Trust (RCT), the leading independent provider of domestic abuse services, family support services and targeted youth support interventions throughout the borough, received a donation of £500.
The TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation was set up in 2015 to support children and young people through schemes in their local communities.
It is dedicated to helping local grassroots charities and since March 2020 has been working particularly hard to support those affected by the pandemic.
The grant for RCT was applied for by an associate from Rochdale’s TK Maxx Store because of the great work the charity has undertaken for local children, young people and families during Covid.
Bev Place, deputy CEO at RCT, said: “On behalf of everyone here at RCT, I want to thank The TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation for the generous donation, which will be invaluable to the local area and benefiting the lives of many.”
Employees from TK Maxx and Homesense stores, processing centres and offices across Europe, nominate local charities to receive grants that are doing great work in supporting the most vulnerable.
In 2021, The TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation made over 1,655 grants to support local communities and charities, such as food banks and mental health organisations, with £791,793 donated.
A spokesperson for the TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation said: “We are delighted that The TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation has been able to support so many charities.
"We are proud that our grants are making a difference to local communities where it really matters.”
