Community Benefits

Our Project team are always keen to support national and local good causes and to date have supported three fundraising initiatives . The first was ‘Movember’ with seven members of the Project team raising £635 for the Men’s Health charity whilst growing some excellent moustaches! As Covid-19 has influenced the way charities are able to fundraise the Project Team chose to support this year’s Poppy Appeal by selling Poppy’s on site as well as on other Griffiths sites across North Wales. This initiative managed to raise £197.50 for the very worthy cause. To close 2020 the Project Team made a large donation of food to the Arfon Foodbank.
