Another year spreading festive cheer 🎅
On December 5th, staff headed out goodies in hand - to bring a smile to our customer's faces.
We would have loved to do this for all of our customers, but we made it to around 142 homes where staff thought the customer could do with a little seasonal pick me up.
We also headed to local community groups and schools like the Weston Community Hub, Hope Central and Ash Grove Primary School - where we donated choccies, children's books and other festive goodies.
All donations came from our generous suppliers and contractors. We want to say a huge thank you to the below companies for helping us make this day possible.
