How do Saints Southwest choose their yearly charity?
Charities are chosen on how the money raised can impact the young people and families we work with across the South West the best, or if we get approached by a staff member, someone we work with or a parent/guardian of a child from one of our programmes has a particular charity close to home they'd like us to support.
