Jackson Square champions Grove Cottage as its charity partner for 2025

Jackson Square has announced Grove Cottage as its charity partner for 2025.

The Potter Street precinct and the London Road centre for people with learning difficulties and special needs are racing to finish major building work, with a friendly wager on who will finish first.

Jackson Square is gearing up for the arrival of TK Maxx and the end of a major revamp of the mall while Grove has embarked on a £2.5m project to replace its ageing HQ with a state-of-the-art facility.

Jackson Square’s community manager, Hayley Harris, said: “We’re thrilled to embark on this amazing journey with Grove Cottage. Their incredible work resonates deeply with our values, and together we’re going to help create some real change in Bishop’s Stortford.”

Mina Pandya, the charity’s community fundraising team leader, said: “We’re really excited. Together we’ll not only raise crucial funds but also shine a spotlight on the incredible potential of our members.”

Grove is a “vibrant hub of activity and opportunity” for its people of all ages, said Mina.

“It’s all about unleashing potential and fostering lifelong friendships where everyone can get active, creative and social.”
