SUITABLE suggestions for supporting a chosen charity are being called for by a new Paignton store.

Staff at the Original Factory Shop are looking for nominations from the public to support a good cause.

The outlet, at Palace Avenue, is keen to integrate itself into the community and, in doing so, it wants to support a local charity.

John Bradbury, store manager, said: "The Original Factory Shop works hard at being part of local life and is always looking at ways it can put something back into the community.

"We've decided to support just one for 2010 so that we can really make a big difference to them.

"As we're new to the town, we're asking for nominations from anyone in Paignton who needs a helping hand, whether it's a mothers and toddlers group, a children's football team or a support group of whatever kind."

Anyone wanting to nominate an organisation should drop a letter into the store by July 25, saying why they think that they should be the Original Factory Shop's charity partner in Paignton.

John added: "It's really that simple.

"We're looking to start the partnership with our first local cause as soon as possible, so let's get the nominations in so we can make our choice and start raising money."

A programme of fundraising activity is planned by store staff throughout 2010, with a minimum target of £500 to be raised for a chosen charity.
