This year Lincs Electrical Wholesalers (LEW) will donate £2,000 to the When You Wish Upon A Star, which has a regional office in Grimsby.

Talking about the decision to donate to charity, LEW managing director Andy Johnson, said: “We have done this for many years now and it has always had a positive response from our customers and suppliers. For us it is great to give to such an amazing charity. We are committed to supporting local groups and charities throughout the year and this time of year is no exception.” This year’s Christmas donation comes on the back of other fundraising efforts undergone by staff at LEW.
