Mole Avon & Crediton Milling raise money for Hospiscare

To help celebrate Mole Avon Trading Limited’s 40th anniversary and their Ruby Appeal for Hospiscare, the company teamed up with Crediton Milling and together have raised £1,241 for the local charity.

During a four week period at Mole Avon’s retail branches in Axminster, Crediton and Okehampton for every bag of Layers Mash or Layers Pellets sold 50p would be donated to Hospiscare.

Crediton Milling, based at Fordton, Crediton is one of the few remaining family owned and run independent feed mills in the Westcountry and the have been supplying animal compound  feed to Mole Avon for the past 20 years.

“Mole Avon and Crediton Milling have a long history and we are happy to be working with a local supplier to help raise money for such a worthy local cause.” says Richard Billson, Mole Avon Chief Executive, “We have set ourselves a big challenge to raise £40,000 for Hospiscare, however, it is a charity that has touched our members of staff, customers, suppliers and their families and we are confident that we can get there, and with all this help we hope to raise more than our target!”

This fundraiser is one of many that has happened this year, and so far the company has raised over £7,500 for the charity through various events including cake sales and tombolas, a bingo evening, a charity ploughing match and a car boot sale to name a few. The remaining money will be raised through a series of fundraising events planned throughout the year which will include a skydive in July plus other events at Mole Avon’s retail branches and within their local communities including a Party in the Barn at Elmore Farm, Thorncombe on 1st June plus much more to be announced.
