Christmas donation

As with tradition, we have made a charity donation instead of sending printed Christmas cards. This year, we will support Standing Tall, a homelessness charity that helps people rebuild their lives by matching them with a stable job, a safe home and the right support. Thank you to PeoplePlus UK Social Recruitment Advocacy Group for introducing us to the cause.
