JUNE 2010 - Turtle Mat Press Release
Turtle® Mat lend a helping hand to the Pembrokeshire Cancer Support
Local charity, Pembrokeshire Cancer Support, based in Queen Street, Pembroke Dock have recently received a donation of 100 door mats from The Turtle® Mat Company.
Popular with home owners across the country for over 15 years, Turtle® Mats range from plain colours to beautiful designs from the National Trust, whilst the RHS collection has long been the gardener’s best friend, trapping dirt and soaking up wet. The Country Living and the William Morris collections celebrate British style adding colourful touches to homes everywhere.
The Pembrokeshire Cancer Support charity helps to improve and maintain the quality of life for those how have or have had cancer. A large percentage of their funds come through sales at their charity shop, which is where the Turtle Mats are selling like hot cakes. Mr Lyn Neville, the charity’s Coordinator emailed The Turtle® Mat Company: “Thank You so much !! I do not know what to say apart from Fantastic ! Amazing ! Brilliant etc etc etc.. You are very kind, and the donation of Turtle Mats to help with our fundraising will make a big difference to us as we are such a small Charity.”
