St Johns Shopping Centre is excited to announce the launch of its charity partner appeal for the year 2024.
The annual Charity Partner program at the centre aims to make a positive impact on the local community by supporting a charitable organisation and raising awareness about their cause. Having previously supported local charities Zarach, Leeds Baby Bank and Leeds Mind throughout 2023, St Johns is now inviting local charities to come forward and express their interest in becoming their new charity partner for 2024 and explain why they should be chosen to collaborate with the centre.
The chosen charity will benefit from various opportunities to engage with the shopping centre’s customers, employees, and stakeholders throughout the year. The centre is keen to partner with a charity that shares their commitment to enriching the lives of individuals and making a significant difference in the local community. Charities are encouraged to highlight their unique mission, impactful programs, and the positive outcomes they achieve.
Andrew Stringer, St Johns Centre Manager said:
“We are thrilled to launch our Charity Partner Appeal for 2024. Our annual partnerships allow us to work together to make a difference to the lives of those in need within our community. This is an exciting opportunity for us to forge a meaningful partnership that will make a lasting impact in our local community. We look forward to working hand in hand with another charitable organisation that shares our vision of creating positive change within Leeds.”
