£200 RAISED AT DANDY'S FOR CHILDREN IN NEED...

Dandy's successfully raised £200 for Children in Need with their fancy dress fund raiser held at their Rock Salt storage facility in Deeside, Flintshire on Friday last week.

The company also had a bake sale at Dandy's HQ and ran a "donate 5% of your order to Children in Need" voucher code, inviting customers shopping online at DandysRockSalt.co.uk and DandyGardenCentre.co.uk to allow Dandy's to make a donation on their behalf.

FANCY DRESS FRIDAY AT DANDY'S HQ THIS WEEK FOR CHILDREN IN NEED...!

Watch this space folks - it's fancy dress Friday so all of the team will be donning silly hats and fake moustaches in honour of Pudsey Bear and Children In Need this Friday.

We're also having a bake sale so if you're in the area pop in for a brownie and a photo with one of the gang for the website!

DANDY'S GARDEN CENTRE ASSIST IN SACK RACE WITH A DIFFERENCE...

Dandy's Rock Salt Supplies parent company; DandysGardenCentre.co.uk, recently came up trumps for a London based community garden project after their garden and grounds were destroyed during the riots of 2011.

The award winning company sent some of their quality topsoil and turf down to the project co-ordinators to get them back on their feet.

The garden has never looked better and it was a project which Dandy's were keen to get involved with as part of their commitment to charities, community projects, environmental awareness and to top it all off; all of that new turf being grown on Dandy's quality topsoil can only help to lessen the company's carbon footprint; bringing them one step closer to their goal of becoming carbon neutral by the end of 2015!

Most recently, kids from the local area were out in the garden having a sack race in the bulk bags which Dandy's supplied the topsoil in - a real novel way to recycle the bulk bags and one that the company hopes will catch on!

LEST WE FORGET...

This Friday marks the most unique remembrance day yet as at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month of 2011, the nation will pause.

Here at Dandy's the 'phones will go off, the diggers will stop and we will all fall silent and take two minutes to reflect on the sacrifice of our brave Service men and women from conflicts past and present.

To show our support for the poppy appeal Dandy's will be making a donation from all orders put through checkout on both of our websites; DandysGardenCentre.co.uk and DandysRockSalt.co.uk, using the voucher code 'remember'.

This code tells us that you, as our customer, want to show your support and have us donate 5% of your total spend to the poppy appeal.

We'll total up and be back with an update first thing Monday morning!
