The Pavers Foundation a charitable organisation of the family-owned-and-run footwear retailer, Pavers, has donated £2,500 to OSCAR’S Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity.

The grant was donated on behalf of successful applicant Louisa Rickatson, a colleague of the Pavers store in York, who wanted to donate to the charity to help those children and the families directly impacted by the devastating challenges of paediatric brain tumours.

Based in York and founded in 2014, OSCAR’s, which stands for Ongoing Support Care Awareness and Research, works to improve the lives of children with brain tumours and their families while also aiming to bring hope for the next generation through their research projects.

CEO of OSCAR’s Sharon Reid said: ‘We are so grateful to Pavers, a great York-based company, for supporting OSCAR's, a York-based charity. The donation will go such a long way to support families, raise awareness and fund research. With this money we have helped a dad be by the bedside of his seriously ill daughter, together with funding school visits & speech therapy sessions for a 2-year-old brain tumour survivor, and occupational therapy to help a 4-year-old to walk again.’

The Pavers Foundation is delighted to support causes up and down the UK and beyond, the vast majority of which are nominated by colleagues of the business, with other donations being made on behalf of the Paver family. The Foundation proudly makes a difference to local communities and more recently has taken steps to explore environmentally positive initiatives. To date, the Pavers Foundation has awarded over £2.2 million in donations.
