Charities@SAMS acts as the conduit for surplus stock from businesses who want to donate to Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise organisations. In addition to adhoc donations throughout the year, Charities@SAMS also coordinates two annual Appeals; Christmas Wishes and the Easter Challenge. Both appeals are a positive way in which employers and individuals can contribute to their local community. All donations are distributed to the most disadvantaged children, teens and families in Lancashire.

SAMS
An Aladdin’s cave of creative goodies SAMS collect, display and offer back to the whole community a huge assortment of recycled goods. With the help of donations from public and private organisations, SAMS places the spotlight firmly on reuse, actively encouraging environmental awareness within the local business community.
From fabrics and ribbon to cardboard cones and zips, SAMS has it all under one roof, creating a unique environment for the community to engage in. Donating companies reduce their carbon footprint, develop corporate social responsibility and minimise disposal costs so improving profit. SAMS has created a network of companies and members across the region and works tirelessly, creating partnerships with other recycling projects across the whole country.
