During the pandemic and the associated lockdowns we may have been forced to postponed the production, but we still managed to do some limited fundraising.

We were chosen by two branches of Waitrose to be part of their monthly “Community Matters” schemes. Due to the restrictions they were no longer collecting the green tokens but instead decided to split the £1000 equally between the three causes in each branch. So we send big “Thank you’s” to both the Epsom and Dorking branches who each donated £333 to Play In A Week.

Play In A Week has also received two very generous donations from the Foresters Friendly Society which, when combined with the Waitrose donations, totals over £1600!

Once again we must say a huge ‘thank you’ to Waitrose in West Byfleet and their “Community Matters” (green tokens) scheme and to everyone who has collected the tokens which we dropped into the PIAW section of the collection box.

After they counted the green tokens in the collection bin we received a fantastic £240 from them!

Waitrose in Hersham were kind enough to include us in their “Community Matters” scheme again in the month of June.

In June 2015, we were lucky enough to be selected by the Cobham branch of Waitrose as part of their Community Matters scheme for the month.

The magic green tokens were collected and put into our box in the store by lots of our supporters. Thanks to everyone who helped with this.

Helen & Geoff Arnold went along to pick up the donation cheque from the Waitrose team.
