Kash Retail celebrates £25,000 community giving milestone across the North East

Kash Retail is proud to announce that it has donated more than £25,000 to local charities and community initiatives through its eight stores in the North East of England, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to supporting the communities it serves. 

The latest contribution saw £1,000 awarded to Nature Time Nursery through Making a Difference Locally’s Heart of the Community Awards funding round. The funding will help create a dedicated sensory room, providing a safe, engaging and inclusive environment for attendees to grow, learn and thrive.

Over the years, Kash Retail has supported a wide range of local causes, reflecting the diverse needs of the communities around its stores. Beneficiaries have included Stockton Pride, Thirsk Community Foodbank, Safer Streets Darlington, and The Harvey McWilliam Foundation, among many others. 

Kevin Polley, Operations Manager for Kash Retail, said: 
"We are absolutely delighted to reach this incredible milestone of donating over £25,000 to our local communities. Community support is the cornerstone of our business, and we are passionate about giving back to the people and organisations that make the North East such a vibrant and supportive place to live and work. Seeing the positive impact these donations have – from supporting vital services like foodbanks to helping create inclusive spaces like the sensory room at Nature Time Nursery – makes us immensely proud." 

Kash Retail remains committed to building stronger communities and will continue to champion local causes through future fundraising and donation initiatives.
