This week we’ve had the pleasure of delivering cheques to three amazing North East charities, Smile for Life, Newcastle Vision Support and Tyneside Women’s Health.
We wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to all of our customers for their support throughout the year and wish them and their teams a Merry Christmas. So this year instead of sending cards and chocolates, we decided to give £1,000 in charity donations on behalf of our customers to local charities who have found this year particularly difficult.
Whilst there are hundreds of amazing charities in the North East, many of which we provide IT support, we asked our staff to choose three which we then split our donation between. We gave our customers the opportunity to vote for which charity they would like to see our charity donations go to.
