Thrive Alive supports children who are struggling in school.

Proudfoot supported the local cause with a donation of £250 through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally charity.

Tim Harvey, at Thrive Alive, said: “As a small, local charity securing any funding is always a challenge. We pride ourselves on being local and focusing on our local area.”

Valerie Aston, director at the Proudfoot Group, added: “We are delighted to be able to use our Making a Difference Locally funds to support Thrive Alive.

“We would like to thank our customers for their continued support, through the in-store collecting tins and purchases of selected products in our stores.”
