The money was
raised as part
of the
"community
matters"
programme, where
customers are
invited to put
green tokens in
their favourite
charity box.
Waitrose then
donate £1,000
each month,
split between
three local
charities.
All monies
raised from the
Zoe Teale
Memorial Fund
are being used
to provide free
screening
sessions for
young adults in
the West
Midlands region
between the ages
of 14 and 35
years.
At least 12
young lives are
lost each week
in the UK as a
result of Sudden
Cardiac Death.
80% will have
shown no signs
or symptoms of
illness prior to
sudden death.
These deaths
could be
prevented if
heart conditions
are detected via
screening. |
