Community celebration at Lechlade Service Station brings Easter joy and local donations
The Lechlade community came together last week for an Easter-themed celebration hosted by the SGN Retail-operated Nisa Local at Lechlade Service Station in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
The event, part of SGN Retail’s continued commitment to supporting the communities it serves, featured a day full of fun, freebies, and fundraising.
Thanks to generous supplier support, visitors were treated to Rollover hotdogs, alongside branded tote bags and pens. Country Choice also joined the fun, offering hot food samples throughout the morning.
Prizes were a highlight of the day, with customers in with a chance to win branded Crème Egg rucksacks, four cinema tickets, and an Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet generously donated by Mondelez. Costa Coffee also contributed, donating £100 in site credit, which was used to provide complimentary drinks for visitors and prize winners.
In addition to the community day celebrations, the store received a £500 donation from Co-op Wholesale’s Making a Difference Locally charity, which will be split between St Lawrence Primary School and Lechlade Memorial Hall. The neighbouring Bourton service station also received £500, which was donated to Headspace and Kate’s Nursing Home.
Discussions are ongoing with other community groups to further involve the wider community and ensure lasting benefits from the event.
Paul Courtney, Commercial Director at SGN Retail, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the turnout and support we received from the community and our suppliers. Events like this reflect the heart of what SGN Retail stands for – giving back, creating joy, and building meaningful connections in the areas we serve. We are grateful for the support of Co-op Wholesale, MADL and our brilliant suppliers who made the day a real success.”
The event marked another successful step in SGN Retail’s mission to support local communities through partnership, donations, and community spirit.
