A York-based retail group has made a large donation to a children’s charity.

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

Louisa Rickatson, who works at the Pavers store in York, 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.

Oscar’s chief executive 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 two-year-old brain tumour survivor, and occupational therapy to help a two-year-old to walk again.”

The Pavers Foundation supports causes up and down the UK and has awarded over £2.2 million in donations to date.
