The Local Community

We are currently in discussion with Helping Hands, part of the Well Child organisation, regarding a refurbishment and redecoration project for the Children's Ward at Lewisham Hospital.
Lewisham Hospital is a local, hospital in South London which provides one of the few dedicated, children-only Accident and Emergency Departments in South London and attracts patients from as far a field as Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
We have used our professional skills, experience and contacts to give something back to our local community by refurbishing the family room, teenagers' room, nursery and private room.
Finishing touches to the works included providing two new leather sofas, three leather chairs and a coffee table to the family room and a seaside-themed mural and a selection of books in the nursery.

We all owe thanks and gratitude to the servicemen and women of our country and recognise the services that Help for Heroes do in providing support to those injured whilst serving their country.
Help for Heroes was founded to provide practical and direct support to the men and women of our armed forces wounded in the service of our country and we are pleased to have donated money towards their work.

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.
