Bournemouth Citizens’ Advice Bureau has benefited from a £500 community grant from Sainsbury’s Talbot Heath, Poole.
The funds will help towards the cost of tea, coffee and biscuits for volunteers who help residents. The store’s community grant scheme, helping charitable groups in the local community, is funded by sales of Bags for Life to shoppers.
Store manager Gordon Silvester said: “Our store is at the heart of the local community and it’s important we can do as much as we can to support it. When we heard about Bournemouth CAB we were really pleased to be able to help out.”
Last year the grants scheme provided £135k-worth of donations nationwide.
