LMP IS CHARITY OF THE MONTH AT WAITROSE CROYDON

We love our local Waitrose here at LMP HQ. It's across the road and it has yummy food. We now love them even more. We have been chosen as one of the three local charities this January! If you shop in the Croydon branch, all you need to do is make sure you receive a green token when you pay for your shopping and put it in the Community Matters boxes next to the exit. The LMP one is the one on the left!

Waitrose divides £1000 between the three charities, based on the amount of tokens received by each charity. Please help us raise as much money as possible!

Thank you.
