A BASINGSTOKE supermarket has donated £250 to Basingstoke Mencap.

Sainsbury’s, in The Malls, donated the cash from its “community budget scheme” to fund the cost of running the charity’s services from its’ White Hart Lane base.

Paul Beesley, manager at Sainsbury’s in The Malls, said: “Our store is at the heart of the community and it is important that we can do as much as we can to support it.

“When we heard about Basingstoke Mencap, we were really pleased to be able to help out.”
