During COVID-19, Anglesea Authorised News & Lotto have initiated a ‘Shop Local’ campaign where they have collaborated with other retailers in providing information and no-contact deliveries to their local community.
Shop Local has been promoted through a large mail-out to their local community as well as a dedicated Anglesea Shop Local Facebook page.
To enhance their print and social media campaign Paul & Corinne have submitted an application to the local shire for a COVID-recovery grant. This will enable them to engage a professional local marketing company to support this initiative.
Anglesea Authorised News & Lotto also provide ongoing support to the local Anglesea Football and Netball Club, where Paul is the senior coach. Paul & Corinne recently ‘hired’ local ladies to make quality face masks with 50% of these sales being donated to the Club.
Paul & Corinne also support the local Bowling Club, Golf Club, Nursing Home, Community House, Lions & Rotary groups, primary schools and kindergarten.
In addition, they actively support various other community businesses. Paul is on the Board of the Anglesea & District Community Bank and Corinne is involved in the local Business & Tourism group, and until recently was a Director for the Torquay Community Enterprise.
Anglesea has been a proud plastic-bag free town since 2004. To support this initiative Anglesea Authorised News & Lotto supply their customers with complimentary paper bags and free market bags for large purchases.
We are very proud of the great initiatives Paul & Corinne have implemented in supporting their local community and wish them all the very best.
Regards,
The VANA Team
