Fund Raising for Dramatize and MS-UK

Ashford based company, Penrose Group, is taking on a challenge, raising money for both Dramatize and MS-UK. 

They are aiming to raise at least £500 to help Dramatize with their work helping adults with learning disabilities and MS-UK in their work helping people with Multiple Sclerosis. 

Dramatize, which is also based in Ashford, and only a few minutes’ walk from Penrose Groups HQ, is a charity that provides a range of theatrical provisions to help further the personal development of adults with learning disabilities. Their services act as a leisure activity and a platform for individuals to so-cialise with other peers and learn valuable life skills inspiring independence for a lifetime of creativity. Dramatize work with different ability levels, providing care and support to ensure that their services are accessible to all. Dramatize encourages their students to be-lieve in themselves, to develop and achieve the unexpected. Every penny donated will help Dramatize to build a better future for their students. This is their tenth year support-ing adults with learning disabilities, and we want to support them to continue their hard for the next ten years and beyond.

Jas, from Penrose’s Sales & Marketing team, will be cycling 321 miles over three Sportives and one off-road mountain bike ride aiming to raise much-needed funds for the two chari-ties helping them continue their fantastic work and support they provide.

We realise that COVID-19 has impacted us all. This probably is not the best time to ask for a donation, but Dramatize, and MS-UK rely on donations to provide their outstanding support, empowering people to live a happier life with respect, care and compassion. Your generous donations will be split equally between Dramatize and MS-UK. Dramatize are in fact themselves going to be operating a café in Charlton village. We will bring you more news on that in the next mag-azine, but it is well worth supporting such a worthwhile cause.
