WILKOS WANT YOUR WINNING DISHES

Wilkinson’s store in Cary Lane, Brigg, is creating a cookery booklet which will be sold at the branch in order to raise money for the Anthony Nolan Trust, the charity that saves lives by matching donors to patients who need a life saving bone marrow transplant.
Manager at the Brigg store, Adam Leaning, says: “We needed to come up with some fundraising ideas and one of our team members, who is a keen cook thought a community recipe booklet, would be a good way to get our customers involved. We have already had some recipes submitted but need more. Therefore we are asking the residents of Brigg and the surrounding area to either bring in, send or email us their favourite recipes that they would like to share for possible inclusion.
We would also like to receive photos of the finished dish and these should also be emailed to us together with their name and address.” The closing date for receipt of recipes is 30th, July 2010.
The Anthony Nolan Trust is Wilkinson’s Charity of the year 2010 and the company aims to raise thousands in essential funds through its stores across the UK to give hope to patients with leukaemia and related illnesses. There are currently around 1,400 people in the UK in need of a bone marrow transplant, which is usually their last hope of survival. Last year the Trust provided two transplants every day, however, as a charity is relies on the support of companies like Wilkinsons and public donations to continue saving lives.
