LEICESTER CHARITY CALLS ON LOCAL BUSINESSES FOR SUPPORT

A Leicester charity is calling on local businesses to support a fundraising initiative to help with finishing the city’s first youth arts and heritage centre. Soft Touch Arts has launched its Brick in the Wall campaign, which aims to raise £5,000 towards its £30,000 target to purchase much needed equipment and finishing work ahead of the official opening of its new £1.1 million Youth Arts & Heritage Centre at 50 New Walk. Companies are being asked to help put another brick in the wall by donating £200 towards the cause in return for a permanent presence within the new arts centre.
