SLM in The Community

Here at SLM we are proud to play an important part in our surrounding communities.
The Sarah Lee Trust
The Sara Lee Trust has been providing specialist counselling and therapy care and support, for over 20 years, to local people who are living with cancer and other life-threatening conditions, along with their family and carers.

The Trust is also the dedicated provider of specialist counselling and complementary therapy services to patients of St Michael’s Hospice (St Leonards on Sea) and the Rye, Winchelsea and District Memorial Hospital.

All the directors and staff at SLM feel very proud to be involved in raising money for such a great cause that helps our local community. For every new or used car that we sell across the group, we will make a donation to the trust. Our latest donation being £710 and so far, we have donated of over £27,810 to the charity.

The Trust is grateful as always for SLM’s generosity, and their ongoing support for the local community. The funds raised will help local people who need “A hand to hold”, while affected by cancer or another life threatening illness – providing counselling, complementary therapies and group therapeutic activities.

The Sara Lee Trust Receive £1800 From The Toyota Fund For A Better Tomorrow
The Sara Lee Trust had the opportunity to apply for the Toyota Fund For A Better Tomorrow again this year, and they were also the first Charity to apply using a paperless System Toyota were piloting.

The money awarded will go towards the building of a new annexe to the Trust's Therapy Centre in Sidley, Bexhill.

The Charity were delighted to be the first to apply using the paperless system and found it really quick and easy to use, Toyota are moving towards a paperless working environment, Toyota (GB) plc’s CSR department feel it necessary to transition the Toyota Fund for a Better Tomorrow application process to a new, online version.

This means that all centre applications will soon be completed solely through use of online forms and electronic signatures, removing the need to print, sign and scan forms in manually. The new process has already proven to be more streamlined and less time-consuming than the old forms, and we hope to extend this rollout to our staff and local community organisation applications over the next year.

Mel Ball, Marketing Co-Ordinator for the SLM Group presented the cheque to the Charity which was really amazing and we are so proud that we can help in getting the annexe built as soon as possible.
Nelson's Journey
Nelson's Journey is the only charity in Norfolk to accept open referrals for specialist support to all children and young people who have experienced the death of a significant person in their life. The COVID-19 outbreak has really emphasised just how essential this support is for local families. The charity is receiving a greatly increased proportion of calls to their Support Line linked to deaths, both COVID and non-COVID, including suicides. The current restrictions have led them to develop and deliver new services provided by phone or video call so they can continue to support children and young people remotely.
