Making a difference

This Christmas, some of our Ramsbottom team volunteered their time at Ramsbottom Pantry, an organisation which works tirelessly to support the local community, providing essential items both during the festive period and throughout the year.

We were excited to don our favourite festive jumpers and join in the fun for Christmas Jumper Day in support of Save the Children, a charity which works to improve the lives of children worldwide by providing education, healthcare, and emergency aid, as well as advocating for their rights and protection.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our wonderful clients and team, our Ramsbottom office has once again served as a drop-off point for Mission Christmas, a gift drive that helps bring the joy of Christmas to children in our community facing poverty.
