X-Press Legal Services Donates £500 to YMCA Derbyshire to Support Wilmorton Community Gardens 

X-Press Legal Services is delighted to announce a £500 donation to YMCA Derbyshire to support the Wilmorton Community Gardens.

This generous contribution is part of X-Press Legal Services’ ongoing commitment to give back to the local community as they celebrate 25 years of business excellence. 

X-Press Legal Services continues to strengthen its community support initiatives with this latest donation. The company’s ethos of looking after community welfare and development inspired this decision to extend its charitable efforts further. 

Ben Wheeler from X-Press Legal Services recently participated in a ‘Seeing is Believing’ tour at YMCA Derbyshire, where he had the opportunity to witness first-hand the impactful work being done within the community. Moved by the experience, Ben felt compelled to contribute to the YMCA’s efforts, particularly the Wilmorton Community Gardens, which play a crucial role in promoting social cohesion, environmental sustainability, and well-being among YMCA residents. 

Ben Wheeler said, “At X-Press Legal Services, we believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting initiatives that make a real difference in people’s lives. The Wilmorton Community Gardens is a fantastic project that brings people together, and we’re honoured to be able to contribute to its ongoing success.” 

The donation will be used to purchase essential tools for residents and volunteers to develop their horticulture skills and maintain the upkeep of the 10,803m2 area. 

YMCA Derbyshire expressed their gratitude for the donation, highlighting the positive impact it will have on the community.

“Support from local businesses like X-Press Legal Services is invaluable,” said Matt Taylor, Youth & Community Manager.

“This generous donation will help us continue to provide a welcoming and nurturing space for everyone in the community.” 

As X-Press Legal Services marks its 25th anniversary, the company remains dedicated to supporting and uplifting the communities they serve. This donation to YMCA Derbyshire exemplifies their ongoing commitment to making a positive difference.
