Hall & Woodhouse awards 35 community grants

Family brewer, Hall & Woodhouse, announced the successful recipients of more than 35 grants totalling £50,000 for worthy causes across the south at its annual Community Chest Awards.

Charities and community groups located in key regions within Hall & Woodhouse’s managed house estate across south England, from Dorset to Devon, have benefited from the annual fund.

Over £25,000 was awarded to 18 charitable organisations in Dorset, with a further four charities in Wiltshire, Hampshire, and Devon being recognised at the awards ceremony held at The Brewery Tap in Blandford last week.

Mark Woodhouse, family director of Hall & Woodhouse, said: “Our Community Chest was founded over 20 years ago to support and strengthen the local communities which make Hall & Woodhouse such a vibrant company that is committed to providing support for those in need.

“With costs rising during a financially difficult time for many, being able to offer necessary support for those in desperate need is more important now than ever before. We are proud to make it our duty to help where we can with this critical fund.” www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk
