Hegarty announces charity partnership with Pepper’s A Safe Place as it celebrates 50 years of business
Hegarty is increasing its usual single annual charity partner from one to four this year, and we are delighted to announce that Pepper’s A Safe Place is one of the chosen four local beneficiary charities.
Pepper’s runs regular social drop-in sessions every week at our centres in Melton and Oakham.
They’re a chance for people to come in and chat to other members of the local community, or talk to one of our volunteers. But what else goes on when you step through our Pepper’s front door?
We thought it’d be helpful to answer a few questions that may be buzzing around in your head, and so you can picture what to expect when you’re ready to join us for the first time!
