THE Northwich and Winsford Guardian is giving two much-loved charities in the area the chance to receive a share of a £16,000 cash giveaway.
Our parent company’s charitable arm, The Gannett Foundation, is providing £128k in cash to support local charities across the country and we have a £16,000 share to distribute across the north west.
In August and September, we asked readers to decide where this money should be spent and after being inundated with nominations The Aaron Dixon Memorial Fund, which supports Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), has been put forward as the nominee for Northwich and the NeuroMuscular Centre is Winsford’s chosen charity.
For the next three weeks, you are invited to collect tokens printed inside the Northwich and Winsford Guardian which can then be sent to collections across the area or posted in to us.
Each token collected will be used to allocate the cash to the nominated charity – so if The Aaron Dixon Memorial Fund collects 50 per cent of all tokens collected it will receive 50 per cent of the £16,000. Likewise, if the NeuroMuscular Centre were to receive 40 per cent of all tokens collected it will receive 40 per cent of the money.
Deborah Dixon has been raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young, which is supported by The Aaron Dixon Memorial Fund, since tragically losing her only son Aaron at the age of 23 from an undetected heart defect.
She said: “I am absolutely thrilled to have been chosen as one of the Cash for Charities nominations and would like to thank everyone who took time to nominate the charity.
