Michael Jones Jeweller of Northampton and Banbury 2022-2023 Bookalogue

CHARITY AT MICHAEL JONES JEWELLER

Every year, we donate a percentage of our profits to local charities and causes in the Northampton and Banbury areas through our registered charity, Michael Jones Jeweller Community Fund.

Our Charity Co-Ordinator Thomas Sinclair, who is also the manager of our Grosvenor Centre store, has the fulfilling role of allocating donations and gifts in response to all the charity requests we receive every year.

This money is allocated in several different ways depending on the situation and there are many ways that we can help.

We like to use a large portion of the money on a bigger local project that can really make a difference. In the past, there have been projects such as building a new garden at Northampton General Hospital and providing bursaries to help fund students through university. This year, we were delighted to be able to support the food bank set up by Northampton Cathedral by providing a two-year grant to help them to continue the brilliant work that they do to feed those in need in the community.

The Michael Jones Jeweller Community Fund has donated to many schools in the local community to assist with funding the purchase of books, outdoor equipment and school trips to enhance the pupils’ learning experience.

This June, we were very proud to be headline sponsor of The Water Dash, a fundraising event held by The Lewis Foundation in Northampton. The charity provides free gifts and support packs to adult cancer patients every week. The event was a huge success, raising over £1500, which will fund over 400 gifts and care packs for adult cancer patients.
