H Bell & Sons employees wore their woollies to work
In lieu of Christmas activities this year, employees at local construction firm H Bell & Sons have donated funds to local charities.
Some of the recipients included The Soup Kitchen Rochdale, to help support the Christmas Day meals made and delivered; WHAG (formerly Women’s Housing Action Group), which gifted Christmas pamper hampers and cosy dressing gowns to their clients; and Springhill Hospice to support the incredible services provided.
Employees wore their woollies for work on Friday 11 December for the hospice’s annual winter fundraiser campaign as well as sponsoring Springhill’s Light Up A Life event.
H Bell & Sons has also supported local schools throughout the festive season, delivering selection boxes for the pupils, as well as sponsoring Rochdale In Bloom’s Christmas tree at Cutgate.
The firm also donated a crate full of toys to the council toy appeal.
Managing Director Chris Bell commented: “At H Bell & Sons, we are very proud of our staff and the support anf volunteering given to the community and charities of Rochdale throughout the year and look forward to continuing our support in 2021.”
Marilyn Jones from the Soup Kitchen said the donation would “go a long way and make such a huge difference to service users.”
Kirsty Rhodes, CEO of WHAG, also thanked the company for their “very kind donation.”
