PRESS RELEASE
ISSUED BY THE JASON ROBERTS FOUNDATION
The Jason Roberts Foundation are pleased to
announce that The Mall at Uxbridge has provided the charity with a retail space
in the Mall, as a community base from which fund raising educational programmes
and events can be organised and delivered.
The Foundation was selected as The Mall at
Uxbridge’s charity of choice in 2010/11 for their “Mall Cares” social
responsibility programme.
The Foundation has already teamed up with
Herbalife and Wallace Cameron, an organisation experienced in first aid training,
to plan and deliver an exciting programme of health enhancing fundraising
activities and events.
The Jason Roberts Foundation was established to
educate and develop socially disadvantaged children through participation in
sport and sports education. The Foundation already runs a number of
successful programmes for able and disabled bodied boys and girls in some of
the most deprived areas in London. Continued delivery of these
programmes and expansion to other deserving target areas depends on sponsorship
and fundraising by the Foundation, and the retail space in the Mall will
provide an ideal outlet for fund raising activities to be delivered from.
Otis Roberts, CEO of the Foundation said, “Since
the Liverpool Legends Charity Match we held at Hayes last year, when The Mall
at Uxbridge supported the Foundation by promoting the game and selling tickets,
the Foundation has developed a close relationship with the Management and staff
of The Mall.” He added, “We were therefore delighted to have been chosen as
their charity of choice in 2010/11 and to have been provided with this retail
space.
We now need to convert the space into an
attractive training, office and retail unit so that we can run these programmes
and generate a health stream of funding for the Foundation.”
Andrew Davy, Manager of The Mall, Uxbridge
commented, “We are delighted to be working with the Jason Roberts Foundation.
They will bring much needed energy to this area of The Mall Uxbridge. As a
community and value shopping centre the Foundations aims and objectives fit
very closely with our own.”
