Access Bookings Make Donation To We Love Lichfield

We Love Lichfield has received a significant donation from Lichfield’s award-winning TV, film and media accommodation booking specialists Access Bookings. The Cross Keys based business presented We Love Lichfield patron Simon Price with £2000 after being inspired by how the place-based community fund is making a difference across the district.

James Austin from Access Bookings said, “Our business takes us across the world but our heart is very much in Lichfield. We have seen the fantastic work of We Love Lichfield and wanted to support them.  As a family-owned business of nearly 40 years we know how difficult it is to innovate and remain relevant. Not only are they raising funds for now, they are creating a lasting legacy too. Their model will enable Lichfield, Burntwood and the surrounding villages to have support for generations to come.

Every year We Love Lichfield hosts a grant giveaway event. As well as handing out the grants, it is also an opportunity for the local voluntary to meet up and network, and most importantly showcase their work.

James said, “For me, their grant giveaway was everything that is special about the area. Access Bookings were event guests and were impressed how We Love Lichfield created a forum for the local voluntary sector to celebrate their work, but also network, meet others to discuss issues and exchange ideas of best practice. It was truly inspiring and we decided there and then we wanted to support.”

Simon Price, patron of We Love Lichfield said, “A huge thank you to Access Bookings. The story of their support makes all the hard work worthwhile. Yes we want to raise funds for the local voluntary sector, but we also want to be a platform for the local voluntary sector and community to grow.

“The support of local businesses is vital and we welcome anyone to contact us to see how they can help.”
