• In our support of colleagues and their families, we offered sponsorship to the Acton Under 12s Cricket Team in order to provide them with new equipment (bats, balls and stumps) as well as supporting their end of year party to encourage participation and promote new members.

• We chose not to send Christmas cards again this year and instead opted to give money to charity whilst supporting the local community.

• We teamed up with Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and Simon Hughes, local MP, and ran a competition for the children of Cathedral School of St Saviour & St Mary Overy to design a poster depicting 'What Christmas Means to Me'.

• The competition was judged by a GOSH representative, Simon Hughes and our MD, Mark Richards, and resulted in the winning children and runners up being awarded a prize and the school being given £500 towards arts & crafts materials.

• In addition to this we presented a cheque for £1,000 to Great Ormond Street Hospital in support of the world-class care that they provide for their young patients and their families and to pioneer new treatments and cures for childhood illness.
