We are delighted that last week’s “Stratford-upon-Avon Business Sporting Club Dinner” sponsored by Vale Press and with guest speaker – cricket legend and former England Captain, David Gower – raised the fabulous sum of £1540 from the raffle to support our nominated charity – Eco Workshop.

We are really pleased to be able to support the fantastic work of our own local heroes at Eco Work-Shop, based near Stratford-upon-Avon. They do a brilliant job in supporting adults from local towns and villages, who have learning disabilities or autism, by providing purposeful, real work activities that develop skills and abilities. It’s a fantastic and happy place!

Our thanks to those who donated/attended the dinner and in particular to Jean & David Duckham who organised the event.

Vale Press were really pleased to be involved in sponsoring the “Human Poppy” event in Cirencester on Remembrance Sunday, November 11th – the 100th anniversary of the armistice.

We helped to “get the ball rolling” a few months ago by printing the introductory   programme; sponsoring the Zone Boards signage used on the day and providing consultancy for the world record breaking event.

On Sunday 3300 people formed a “human poppy” by wearing coloured ponchos to create a sea of red, green and black. Each poncho represented someone who gave the life in WW1 from the Cotswolds.

The event was covered by national media including the BBC, Daily Telegraph, Express, Sun and Mirror.

A truly fitting way to “Remember”.

Congratulations and thanks to all involved – those who organised it and those who attended.

Vale Press hoping for a “great innings” this evening to support an amazing local charity!

Vale Press are really pleased to be sponsoring a Sporting Club Dinner in Stratford-upon-Avon this evening – Thursday 8th November – organised by Rugby Union legend, David Duckham MBE.
In particular we are delighted to be able to support the fantastic work of our own local heroes at Eco Work-Shop, based near Stratford-upon-Avon. They do a brilliant job in supporting adults from local towns and villages, who have learning disabilities or autism, by providing purposeful, real work activities that develop skills and abilities.
The Eco Work-Shop will benefit from the raffle proceeds at tonight’s event, where the guest speaker will be cricket legend, David Gower OBE – former England Captain who played in 117 test matches and 114 one-day Internationals – and now the “face of cricket” as Sky Sports Presenter and Commentator.

Vale Press Chairman, Lynden Stowe says: “Whilst at Vale we’ve printed for sporting legends, superheroes and even a prime minister, we never forget the often unsung local heroes who do so much good work.

We try and give something back to the communities where we live, work and play, and that’s why we are so keen to see this evenings event raise money for such a really worthwhile and important local charity.”

The team at Vale really welcomes the opportunity to engage through our work placements, every Thursday, when our friends from the Work-Shop come and give us a helping hand for a couple of hours.
