Daffodils Dreams C.I.C - Ibiza Ball 2022
Our CEO Mike and Office Manager Leanne had the pleasure of presenting a cheque at Believe Square in Wigan town centre to Maureen Holcroft, founder of Daffodils Dreams, with funds raised from our charity Ibiza Ball in October.
Daffodils Dreams C.I.C. is passionate about creating opportunities for children and their families in the Wigan Borough, who are living in hardship, and great to support such a fantastic charity within our borough and make a difference to families lives.
We would like to thank Wigan College, Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Hospital and Wigan Council for their continued support. Brilliant to see Wigan and Leigh companies reaching out to our communities most vulnerable, Wigan working together as one.
Toy Appeal & Food Hampers - Christmas 2021
During the Christmas period of 2021 the Greenmount team have once again been very busy collecting toys from our staff and suppliers. Our aim was to match the previous years donation of 250 presents to be delivered to the families of Wigan and Leigh.
Bringing together Wigan & Leigh College, Wigan Youth Zone, on Christmas Eve we also delivered over 100 food hampers to those less fortunate. We believe everyone deserves to have a full meal on christmas day and this year we tried to reach as many families as possible to make this happen.
WYZ Cabin Donation
We have recently donated a 40ft long container for the local Council to use at Wigan Youth Zone in aid of continuing their programme. Wigan Councils service assists at risk youths achieve their potential, be more confident and resilient and have a dedicated support network to help them make positive changes in their lives.
When the world reopened following COVID 19, Wigan Council were no longer able to continue their service at Wigan Youth Zone. Of course, when the Youth Zone contacted us, we were more than willing to help!
The container is now a workshop room, where children and young people will develop new practical skills, such as building garden planters, birdboxes and refurbish community benches: all of which will benefit the local community.

WYZ Toy Appeal 2020
During Christmas, the Greenmount team asked our supply chain to provide toys instead of the usual bottles/items they would normally gift. The aim was to collect 100 presents for the WYZ toy appeal. Very generously we were gifted with over 250 toys, for both boys and girls of all ages!
To contribute to the cause, the Greenmount MD also donated a new mountain bike.
The toy drive is a great example of what can happen when businesses pull together to support the community.
