Wigan organisation Daffodils Dreams is benefiting from free hot desk membership at a new co-working space
A Wigan organisation making a difference for children and families has been given a helping hand of its own.
The Cotton Works has offered free hot desk memberships to Daffodils Dreams at its Weave Coworking space.
It means the small team has somewhere quiet to focus on admin, referrals and planning, away from the busy day-to-day work at the boutique and community lounge.
John Heaton, managing director of Heaton Group, which owns the Cotton Works, said: "Supporting the local community has always been at the heart of what we do at The Heaton Group. Daffodils Dreams is an incredible charity whose work makes a real difference to children and older people across Wigan, and we’re proud to play a small part in helping them on their mission. Providing a hot desk membership at Weave Coworking gives the team at Daffodils a dedicated space to carry out their important work and we’re delighted to welcome them into the Weave community.”
Daffodils Dreams founder Maureen Holcroft said: “When John told us he wanted to give Daffodils Dreams our own membership at the Cotton Works, we were honestly overwhelmed. It’s such a beautiful, calm space and a real gift for us. Working in the boutique is lovely, but with the constant interruptions it can be difficult to focus on the bigger projects we’re trying to move forward. Having a peaceful, dedicated space means we can really get stuck in and make progress.
"We’re so grateful to John and his team for believing in what we do – support like this makes a huge difference to the families we help.”
