Romsey Mill

Nominate Romsey Mill as your Charity of the Year, urges the Mill’s CEO

Established by local churches in 1980, Romsey Mill works with around 1,000 young people and families every week including teenage parents, young families, children with autistic spectrum conditions such as Asperger’s, and young people struggling in mainstream school or facing other life-challenging circumstances.

Neil Perry (right),  chief executive of Romsey Mill, said: “Our vision at Romsey Mill is of a transformed society in which all young people, children and families fully belong, positively contribute and thrive.

"By nominating Romsey Mill as their Charity of the Year, local businesses will have the opportunity to work in partnership with us to make a positive impact in the lives of the young people and families that we work with across the county.

“We are planning some exciting fundraising events for our 30th anniversary in 2010 so it’s an excellent time for companies to work with us to promote team spirit and boost staff morale, as well as to generate publicity for their company. We have a committed team on hand to support companies at every step and to make the most out of the partnership.
 
Romsey Mill is currently Sainsbury’s Local Charity of the Year and staff at its Coldham’s Lane site in Cambridge have been working in partnership with the Mill for several months now.

“It’s great to be supporting Romsey Mill as our Local Charity for the Year,” said Bev Tumber from Sainsbury’s Coldham’s Lane site.  “So many of our staff and their families have benefited from the work that Romsey Mill does. We are all very excited to be working with their team and want to raise as much as we can for the charity.
