Helping charity which supports vulnerable and disadvantaged families
Helping our local foodbank move to a new warehouse
When Newcastle-Staffs Foodbank got in touch needing help moving their stock to a new warehouse , colleagues were quick to respond , providing a van as well as some extra pairs of hands .
Colleagues from Strategic Communications & Brand helped the Alice Charity , which supports vulnerable and disadvantaged families in our local area . The team spent the day painting the charity ’ s new base in Fenton to get it ready for move-in day .
Joe Hambleton-Ratcliffe , one of the colleagues who took part , said : “ It was great to roll our sleeves up and support a local charity that is making such a positive change to so many people .”
