Doncaster town charity wins top award
It was 12 months ago that the charity, which was founded by Jackie Hewitt-Main OBE, won funding from Efficiency North for delivering a high level of social value within the Doncaster community. This ensured a place for The Cascade Foundation on the Duke’s awards shortlist.
