With the cost of living rising, the services provided by charities such as WAC are more important than ever. Therefore, next time you’re passing please consider donating £5 to support their work. All proceeds will go directly to the organisation.
Thank you to GoodBox for working on this project with us, their technology massively simplifies the process of charitable fundraising. If you know a local charity that you think would benefit from a project similar to this, please contact harrie@wearewaterloo.co.uk.
