AN Oakworth cleaning company has pledged its backing to a charity that supports disadvantaged families across the region.

Providi Ltd has become a patron of The Principle Trust, which provides respite holidays to youngsters who are disadvantaged, disabled or have life-limiting conditions, or who've experienced poverty, trauma or abuse.

Company founder and managing director, Emilie Hainsworth, says: "We’re delighted to be joining The Principle Trust as patron.

"Our commitment to this very special charity will help some of the region’s most disadvantaged children to escape their everyday challenges and create long-lasting happy memories."

Providi Ltd – founded in 2019, and now employing 10 staff – operates across the Aire and Worth valleys, Wharfedale and Craven, providing cleaning and property management services to corporate, commercial and industrial clients.

As part of its support of The Principle Trust, the firm will help prepare the charity's respite lodges for next year’s holiday season.
