12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS DONATIONS 2023

Given the incredible list of nominations and desire by so many to recognise and support the work being done in our communities our 12 Days of Christmas was doubled in 2023. It has been humbling to speak with, and visit some of, the 24 charities selected to receive £1000. The following charities all received a £1000 donation and we look forward to connecting and learning more about the wonderful work they are doing for others.
