Charity collection between the commons on 1 December!

DOUGLAS & GORDON AND KIDS COMPANY CHARITY DAY!

On Thursday 1 December staff from our 18 Douglas and Gordon offices will be taking to the streets in aid of the children’s charity, Kids Company.

We will be collecting non-perishable food and toys which we will be packing into boxes ready to be handed out at Christmas to the 14,000 children that are looked after by Kids Company. This great charity provides a caring family environment for needy children including the most deprived and at risk whose parents are unable to care for them due to their own practical and emotional challenges.

Last year we managed to fill 343 full removal boxes with 18,000 individual food items, collected 1,825 brand new toys and £8,277 in donations but this year we want to do even better.

If you would like to offer donations please contact Olivia Quarrelle on 020 7801 3312 or email oquarrelle@dng.co.uk and we can arrange for goods to be collected from you directly. Alternatively next time you are passing our office at 128 Northcote Road please feel free to pop in with a spare packet of pasta or tin of beans!

We look forward to another successful charity day on the 1 December and thank you in advance for your help.
