SCHEME RUN BY THE CO-OP IN EMSWORTH FOR 2011-2
The Emsworth Business Association has been chosen as
one of the organisations to benefit from the Community Card Schemes in
Emsworth for June 2011-2012. The other organisation is the Emsworth
Pastoral Centre.
This is fantastic news
and we ask that everyone gets a card and uses it every time you shop in
Emsworth Co-op. The total amount that potentially could be raised for
the EBA through the scheme is £10,000. Fund raising began on 9th
June 2011 and end date is 8 June 2012. Ask at the Emsworth Co-op for
your card to get this rolling.
A launch event is in the process of being organised.
the EBA will promote the card scheme at every opportunity and will be
visible outside the Co-op on various Saturdays .throughout the time.
The aim is to raise a significant amount to benefit
the EBA/ Pastoral Centre and subsequently the local community of
Emsworth.
although the cards are available for use now the
scheme will be officially launched at the Emsworth Show on August 29th.
