Esh Stantec joint venture (JV) and a host of supply chain partners, have donated over £3,500 worth of children’s gifts to the Cash for Kids 2021 Mission Christmas appeal.
A campaign across the North East and Yorkshire regions encouraged staff and those who work with Esh-Stantec to donate a variety of presents for disadvantaged children who need them the most. Gifts for all age groups will be delivered to drop off points in both regions this week, ready to be distributed in time for the big day.
Cash for Kids is a charity which aims to improves the lives of disadvantaged children and young people and is well known for its annual Mission Christmas campaign, backed by local radio station partners. In 2020, Mission Christmas collected over £12.7m in gifts and cash donations, which was used to make sure that 254,352 children and young people had presents to open on Christmas Day. As poverty figures continue to rise, the demand for support has increased.C
Generous donations from Esh-Stantec JV, Pipetek, Jetaire, Clearway, and Lumsden & Carroll’s sub-contractors, have been commended by Esh Divisional Director, David Pratt. He said: “The last 18 months have been challenging for everyone, particularly for those living in poverty.”
“Giving back to the local community is at the core of Esh’s values and I am immensely proud of the generosity of all involved for their support of the Mission Christmas appeal. If these gifts help to bring festive spirit to those who receive them, we are delighted that we have been able to make this small difference.”
