Members of the Austin Family presented £6,400 to the Herts Young Homeless Group which was the Annual Charity of the Austin’s Charitable Fund for 2007. The Austin Family, set up the charitable fund seven years ago. The fund is administered by the Hertfordshire Community Foundation and its aim is to benefit local charities and community organisations. The fund is partly raised from company profits, but also through donations made by bereaved families in memory of their loved ones. The beneficiary of the Austin’s Charitable Fund for 2008 will be the Keech Cottage Children’s Hospice.
