Wigwam supports Malvern Special Families as part of Give Back initiative

Creative studio Wigwam has supported Malvern Special Families as part of the studio’s Give Back initiative.

Wigwam donates 1% of all the money it makes to environmental and good causes. This year, staff have been individually asked who they would like Wigwam to donate to. Names are drawn out of a hat to see who chooses and Wigwam gives the chosen charity for that quarter 1% of all the money made in that period.

Most recently, the chosen charity was Malvern Special Families, a small charity that provides weekend, after school, holiday and youth clubs for children with learning disabilities and additional complex needs. The charity was chosen by Wigwam’s Licensing Designer, Claire Saric.

“Malvern Special families is a charity very close to my heart,” said Claire.

“It’s a charity that has supported my nephew from a young age to now as a young teen. They are an incredible resource to many families in the Worcester and Malvern area. Thank you Malvern Special Families, for everything you do and the fantastic team of carers you have built. The SEND community really appreciates your hard work and dedication.”

Gareth Jones, CEO at Malvern Special Families, added: “We were absolutely thrilled to receive an extremely large donation from Wigwam Studios.

“We will use this kind donation to take the children on two trips – one on the river Avon from Evesham on a fully wheelchair accessible boat where the children will get a chance to steer and drive the boat. The other will be to the pantomime in Worcester to see Aladdin. Without this generous support from Wigwam neither of these trips would be possible . On behalf of all the children and their families, thank you to all at Wigwam for thinking of us.”
