THE Kingfisher Centre in Redditch has chosen local charity Inspire Community Training C.I.C as its Charity Partner of the Year.

This selection came after the shopping centre invited the community to nominate who they believed would be a good fit for this role.

Inspire Community Training C.I.C is a respected charity that focuses on empowering individuals through various services such as mental health support, domestic abuse aid, homework clubs, and dementia-friendly sessions.

As part of the partnership, Kingfisher will organize a range of fundraising activities and events until July 2024, with the first event being the Dino Camp face painting during the summer holidays, which raised £270 for Inspire Community Training C.I.C.

The charity, which operates from its studios at Winyates Craft Centre in Redditch, is esteemed for its commitment to the local community.

This collaboration with the Kingfisher Centre demonstrates the shopping center's dedication to supporting and enhancing the lives of the people in Redditch.

Adrian Field, General Manager at Kingfisher, said: "We are delighted to name Inspire Community Training C.I.C as our Charity Partner of the Year. The charity’s work aligns perfectly with our commitment to making a positive difference in the community we serve.

“We look forward to supporting Inspire Community Training C.I.C in its mission and collaborating on various initiatives throughout the year."

Karen Martin, Managing Director at Inspire Community Training C.I.C, added: "We are thrilled to be chosen as the Charity Partner of the Year by Kingfisher Centre Redditch. This collaboration will enable us to expand our reach and impact in the community, helping even more individuals with our variety of courses and services."
