Three Days of Glynn Ward’s Help Thanks to Blueleaf Care

A brilliant and thoughtful scheme by care home supplier, Blueleaf Care, allowed Sportability to be the beneficiary of three days of the kind, skilled and very welcome assistance of Glynn Ward this Summer.

Blueleaf’s “Three days volunteering” scheme allows employees time off to support good causes, and to our delight, their employee, Glynn Ward, took the opportunity to use the charity days scheme to volunteer for Sportability. …a great example of the private sector supporting the charity sector.
