MAYOR of Warrington Wendy Johnson traded civic duties to take part in a ‘Supermarket Sweep’ style trolley-dash at Latchford Londis to support local homeless charity Room at the Inn.
The Mayor of Warrington, had 60 seconds to dash around Latchford Londis, on Thelwall Lane, to fill her basket with as many items as possible which are to be donated to Room at the Inn, a Warrington-based charity that provides shelter, support, and essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness, offering a safe space and helping them rebuild their lives with dignity and care.
The fun event was organised by the shop’s owner, along with delivery app Snappy Shopper, with Wendy filling her basket with goodies such as bread and butter and some delicious cans of Pepsi max-totalling an amazing £84.92.
After completing the mad dash, Wendy said: “They are a charity that support the homeless and homelessness. They provide food and meals during the day, they also provide accommodation overnight.
“They support with things like washing and all sorts of other services tie in.”
“It is such a fantastic charity doing such fantastic work, thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting us along to take part!”
In a further effort to support the local community and charity, store owners Atul and Kashmira Hathi, donated a further £100 to the charity.
Latchford Londis has been operating in the community for 12 years, joining delivery platform Snappy Shopper just over a month ago.
Atul said: “Our aim is to give back to our local community as much as possible, it is initiatives like this that make that happen.”
Latchford Londis offers 30 to 60 minute home delivery via the Snappy Shopper platform. New customers can get £8 off their first two orders using the code DELIVERY88.
