Jacobs’ 70th anniversary celebration is centred on raising funds for the Royal Berkshire Hospital Charity. One of the activities that many would look forward is the quarterly raffle, supported by local Reading businesses. It was drawn on the 6th of April by Ian Thomson, Director of Royal Berk Charity, and Adrienne Jacobs, Co-owner of Jacobs the Jewellers.

 

The April basket was brimming with gifts from sponsors such as the Botanist, Workhouse Coffee, Eyesite, FOPE, Bigli, Eclectic Games, Purple Turtle, Malmaison and Frosts.

 

Individual raffle tickets are available to buy in store wherein the proceeds will go to the much-loved Royal Berkshire Hospital Charity. The unique mix of gifts from this independent jewellers in Reading along with local businesses and partners definitely showcases the values of the community.

 

Everyone can still get a chance to bag the next gift hamper. So, join in between April and June for the July 2018 raffle draw: you could be the lucky winner of a unique gift basket.

 

About the Fundraising Initiative from Reading Jewellers

 

The essence of the year-long anniversary festivities lies on the fundraising initiative for the Berkshire Cancer Centre at the Royal Berkshire Hospital Charity. Specifically, this is to purchase a Surface Guided Radiotherapy, so cancer treatment is quicker and better. With so many fun-filled activities where anyone can participate in throughout the 70th anniversary year, the goal indeed will be achieved. 

 

As of today, the donations amounted to over £4,000, which is 5% of £70,000. Directly donating to the cause can be efficiently and securely done via the JustGiving page. The funds will be sent straight towards the charity and donor’s details are safe.
