A GROUP for young adults with disabilities in Worcestershire is celebrating after receiving a £300 donation from the Galaxy hot chocolate fund.
Pathways Day Service in Malvern enables its members to carry out work-based tasks in the gardens of the Three Counties Showground.
Susan Nutting, group facilitator, said: “Our showground theme for 2016 is ‘Shakespeare Scarecrows’ to celebrate the anniversary of William Shakespeare.
"This donation from the Galaxy hot chocolate fund means that we can now start to invest in Shakespearean props to enhance our Tudor garden.”
The fund helps small, local community groups and charities across the UK and Ireland by donating cash awards to support "warm-hearted people and projects".
Michelle Frost, spokesman for Galaxy hot chocolate, said: “We know that across the UK and Ireland smaller charities and community groups are struggling to make ends meet despite the efforts of a huge number of warm-hearted volunteers.
“The Galaxy hot chocolate fund aims to give them a helping hand and hopefully inspire more people to get involved.”
