Once more, we are thrilled to confirm African Children’s Fund has been nominated Charity of the Year for Juice Networking in Witney until May 2021, extending our partnership which began in June 2018 into a third year.
"African Children’s Fund have been the Juice Networking Charity of the Year for the past two years; already an unprecedented achievement in itself. This is testament to the passion and hard work by Tamsyn and the simple message that every effort we provide has huge benefits for the charity. Within our networking group, African Children’s Fund has benefitted from members' expertise and advice along with our donations, but where they have distinguished themselves is their ability to give back, both to the group and its members and they embody the perfect addition to our group. With this in mind, we are delighted and proud to announce this relationship will continue for a further twelve months."
