Testway Transform is the community fundraising arm of Testway Housing. It raises money which it then distributes to a wide range of local causes. The charity's has raised over £90,000 in just 3 years which it has given out to 84 organisations like Andover Age Concern, the Andover Food Bank and Andover Rugby Club.
Charity co-ordinator Paula Deverill hopes that with the high profile support the radio station can give, the Money Box Fund will be able to raise more cash and hand out many more grants: "More and more people will know about the fund and what we're trying to work towards.
"Every penny we raise goes straight back into the community so Testway Transform in partnership with Andover Sound has just got to be a good idea."
Testway Transform has helped groups like Andover VIPs who help people with sight problems. They were given £500 to help run a line dancing group for their members. Janet Mason from the charity said it was easy to apply for the money: "Often when you apply for funding it's pages and pages, lots of work, but they really did support us.
"The money came through quickly and we've had a great time."
