Grappolo’s Backs The Kirkwood’s Lottery Super Draw

Popular local restaurant Grappolo’s is once again demonstrating its commitment to supporting people and families across Kirklees by sponsoring The Kirkwood’s annual Lottery Super Draw.

Having supported The Kirkwood for more than a decade, Grappolo’s has continued to play an important role in helping the charity raise vital funds and awareness of the care and support available to people living with life limiting illnesses and those closest to them.

This year's sponsorship represents another chapter in the restaurant's long standing relationship with The Kirkwood, with the team hoping to encourage even more people to get involved in the Super Draw and make a difference in their local community.

The Kirkwood Lottery Super Draw offers supporters an opportunity to take part in a special fundraising initiative, with every ticket purchased helping the charity continue providing vital care and support across Kirklees.

For Grappolo’s, supporting The Kirkwood is something that has become an important part of the restaurant's identity, reflecting its commitment to giving something back to the community it serves.

Hamid from Grappolo’s said: "For more than a decade, supporting The Kirkwood has been incredibly important to us. As a local business, we see first hand the difference the hospice makes to people and families across our community during some of life's most challenging moments. We are delighted to be sponsoring this year's The Kirkwood Lottery Super Draw again and hope our involvement encourages even more people to get involved. We want to help turn our sponsorship into even more funds for The Kirkwood, enabling the charity to continue its vital work supporting local people when they need it most.

"Customers can also purchase Super Draw tickets when visiting Grappolo, making it easy for people to support a fantastic local cause while enjoying a meal with family and friends. Every ticket sold helps The Kirkwood continue providing outstanding care and support across our communities.

"The Kirkwood has been there for local families for nearly 40 years, and we're proud to play a small part in helping ensure that support continues for generations to come. We would encourage everyone to get behind the Super Draw and help make a real difference."

The continued support of Grappolo’s highlights the important role local businesses play in helping The Kirkwood reach more people and continue delivering its services across the community.

Through partnerships, sponsorships and fundraising activities, businesses across Kirklees are helping ensure that people facing some of life's most challenging moments can access the care, compassion and support they need.

Beverley Shaw, Business Development Manager with The Kirkwood, praised Grappolo’s for its ongoing commitment and generosity. Beverly said: "We are incredibly grateful to Hamid and everyone involved with Grappolo’s for once again choosing to support our Lottery Super Draw. Having the backing of local businesses who genuinely care about their community means so much to us. Their support goes far beyond financial contributions. It helps us reach new audiences, raise awareness of the care we provide and encourage more people to get involved in supporting The Kirkwood.

"What makes our relationship with Grappolo’s particularly special is the loyalty and commitment they have shown over so many years. They understand just how important our services are to local families, and their willingness to continue supporting us is something we never take for granted.

"Every ticket purchased helps make a difference, and we're hoping this year's Super Draw will inspire even more people to get involved. We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Grappolo’s for helping us make that possible."
