Future Finance to donate thousands of pounds to Silkworth Charity Group in 2016

Friday 15 April 2016

Future Finance is supporting the Silkworth Charity Group by sponsoring a number of fundraising events, as well as donating £100 for every loan taken out this year.

The lender will assist the charity group - which offers residential rehabilitation to men and women who are affected by drug and alcohol addiction as well as supporting their families and significant others - at the following events:

-  The LH White Collar Boxing event - a boxing competition at the Royal Jersey Show Ground in Trinity on 9th April 2016 - where Silkworth will benefit from the charitable donations on the night and through the raffle.

-  The Silkworth Extreme Team Challenge - which involves teams participating in a hard-core, full day event of running, swimming, kayaking and cycling around Jersey's north cost on 10th September 2016.

-   A proposed Charity Gold Day - which will be held in the summer.

On top of this, the lender looks set to raise thousands of pounds for the charity, as every loan taken out in 2016 will trigger a £100 donation to Silkworth Charity Group. 

Denny Lane, co-founder of Future Finance, said: "We are a local business with a strong connection to the community and want to give our support to  a local charity that we know works really hard to make a huge difference to so many peoples lives here in Jersey. In addition, by offering £100 for every loan given in 2016, we are giving the public a chance to contribute to this fantastic Charity

"Silkworth Lodge is the only residential rehabilitation treatment centre in the Channel Islands that supports those with drug and alcohol dependency, together with their families, and we are extremely proud to support their valuable work."

Talking of the sponsorship, the CEO of the Silkworth Charity Group, Jason Wyse, said: "We are delighted to be chosen as the charity of choice for Future Finance Group. The directors approached us to see how they could get involved in the charity and I was extremely happy when they told us that they wanted to support us for the whole year."
