LESLEY Stevenson took time out from her day job to get involved in fundraising at Culcheth’s Twiss Green Primary School – and raised £1,668.
She raised £918 by organising a special raffle for the school and the money was matched pound-for-pound by the “charity begins at work” programme run by her employers, Barclays.
Gareth Lewis, a community relations officer for the bank, said: “We strive to strengthen local communities in which we live and work by supporting a range of causes from local schools to centres for older people.
“his is a fantastic example of Barclays staff fundraising with the local community to achieve something which we hope will make a real and lasting difference.
“We’re really proud of our community investment programme which added up to £52.2 million in 2008.”
