Romo, a leading textile and wallcovering business based in Sutton-in-Ashfield, have announced outcome of the 2023 Romo Community Fund and IAF were delighted to be awarded £9000 alongside a fellow local organisation, the Indigo Brave Enterprise.
The Romo Community Fund 2023 is a grant program to provide much needed funding to local charitable organisations or projects. With the help of the Nottinghamshire Community Foundation, Romo staff panel members decided how this year’s community fund should be allocated. Six charities were invited to Romo’s Head Office to meet a staff panel and explain the local projects they need support in funding. ‘All six of the shortlisted applicants were fantastic and all very worthy causes' said Samantha Woodward, a Romo Customer Service Administrator, who took part in the panel discussion, 'It was a very hard decision to reach with the panel'.
Founded in 1902, The Romo Group is a Nottinghamshire based, family run business in its fifth generation. Renowned for its diverse range of fabrics, wallcoverings, trimmings and accessories, The Romo Group is recognised worldwide as an international market leader in high end interior textiles. With a focus on quality materials and innovative design, each of the six brands within The Romo Group has their own unique character and style and Romo Group products are sold through a worldwide network of designers, retailers, agents and distributors in over 70 countries.
The Inspire and Achieve Foundation are so grateful to The Romo Group for their support and look forward to working together over the coming months as their staff share their skills and experience with young people on our programmes.
