The Shropshire Gas Charity Initiative has been committed to raising
and donating vitally needed funds for community organisations
and associations within the North Shropshire district since
the early 1990s. Its founder, Malcolm Carter, and committee
members, Thomas Murray and Jim Walton, want to make a difference
to the lives of children and young people through direct charitable
donations. Shropshire Gas covers all the management expenses
including administration and stationery. The price of every
item purchased is negotiated. If it can be obtained free,
it is. This means every pound works harder.
The first aim of the initiative is to improve
facilities for local children and young people, including
sport and education. The second aim is to continue our financial
support of the NSPCC ‘Full Stop’ campaign, helping
to stop cruelty and abuse to children. The final aim is to
expand our initiatives to allow more children and young people
to benefit from our donations.
Founder of the community initiative, Malcolm Carter, continues
his hands-on approach by chairing the committee. Since the
inaugural meeting, thousands of pounds have been donated to
local good causes by its members. Meetings take
place regularly throughout the year. Donations will be distributed amongst
successful applicants within the North Shropshire area. We
would like you to spread the word about the charitable fund
to encourage more local community groups to make a request
to our initiative. Groups can apply, indicating the scope
of the project, as well as the potential benefits. All applications
are considered no matter how large or small. The key decider
is the benefit to children and young people in our local community.
The Shropshire Gas Charity Initiative is a
very special, efficient and unique charitable venture. ‘Special’
because it helps improve the lives of children and young people.
‘Efficient’ because every pound raised and donated
directly benefits the cause. These two points make it truly
‘unique’.
