What is O’Brien Charitable Trust (link to homepage for details O’Brien Contractors Charitable Trust – Supporting Local Charities)

Thank you to everyone who supported  the O’Brien Charitable trust during 2020. Your contribution has helped hugely towards our goal of raising £15,000.00 which we achieved just before Christmas.    That figure is matched by a company contribution of the same amount so a total of £30,000.00 will be donated to the following charities in the next few weeks.

The following organisations will be benefiting from the monies raised in 2020:

• Acorn Hospice – £2,000
• Helping Hands – £2,500
• Night Shelter Leamington Spa – £2,000
• Myton Hospice £2,000
• Zoe’s Place – £2,000
• Molly Olly’s Wishes – £2,500
• Air Ambulance Warwickshire and Northampton – £10,000
• Coventry Cyrenians – £2,500
• Freddie’s Wish – £2,500
• The Pam Brittan Trust for Dementia – £2,000

The challenge this year has being significant to say the least, with our normal fundraising events realistically lost through Coronavirus.

Events with any social interface have not been possible at all and peoples concentrations have being focused elsewhere on maybe more immediate personal issues of self-preservation for themselves and those close to them which given the surreal times is totally understandable.

It was late June when the world began to realise life had to carry on, but in a different manner. At this point the charity committee picked the reins up and took a determined stance to hit our target of £15,000.00.

It had become abundantly clear that whilst all of us were affected personally, charities were affected to a greater degree with most avenues of support being closed down completely whilst at the same time the need for support from charities increased dramatically as the plight of a lot of people worsened.

Other Organisations we have helped in previous years:

• Helping Hands Community Project
• Wolverhampton Boxing Club
• The Helping Harry Trust
• Centrepoint
• Doorway Youth Homelessness
• Young People First
• Guy’s Gift
