Shotton Mill Limited in Flintshire has donated £1,000 to Hope House Tŷ Gobaith.

The company is nearing completion of its new paper manufacturing facility at Shotton. The site currently employs more than 200 staff and is set to create 220 new roles when the new plant opens.

Staff chose to support the children’s hospice, which provides care to more than 700 children and families living with life-threatening conditions across North Wales, Cheshire, Powys and Shropshire.

Presenting the cheque, Joanne Mandley, Head of Human Resources, and Dan Johnson, General Manager, said: “We are delighted to be able to make this donation to such a wonderful cause,

“We have known about their valuable work for a long time and as a family-focused business, we know how important they are to the community.

“We hope to be able to support further in the future with manpower and volunteering opportunities.”

Fundraiser Nicola Eyes visited the site to receive the cheque and meet representatives from the company.

She said: “This is such a kind donation, and we are looking forward to a strong partnership in the future.

“£1,000 can buy so many precious memories, experiences and respite for children and families facing the most difficult of times.

“Our mission is to reach as many families as we can and help them make quality moments together.

“Thank you to Joanne, Dan and everybody at Shotton Mill for selecting us – we’re so grateful.”
