'˜Life-saver' of a donation to charity

Jonathan Wales, manager of Woolshop Branch Halifax bank with Jennie Lee Jack, project manager of One Good Turn with volunteers of the charity.

The vehicle is an integral part of their work and without a van they cannot help those in need.

The application was presented to the funding board by Jonathan Wales manager of the Woolshops branch in Halifax.

One Good Turn support people leaving domestic violence, young people setting up home and families that are living below the bread line struggling to obtain essential items such as cookers and washing machines.

Last year they helped over 10,000 families in Kirklees make a massive difference to their standard of living.

Founder Sophia Crawshaw said: “The funding for the van was literally a life saver for the charity, the old van was constantly in for repair and wasn’t big enough.”
