Spirited souls spring shoebox surprise
January 08, 2010, 10:12:38 AM
| RBH staff would definately have made Santa’s ‘nice’ list this year, as they provided Christmas cheer to local tenants, with the aim of bringing a smile to the faces of some of our customers, in particular the elderly, who may not necessarily have many visitors over the holidays.
A brainstorming session held by the Money Matters team, fronted by Angela Havens, led to the launch of our first ever Shoebox appeal, where boxes are filled with an array of gifts.
Angela said;“I was delighted by the overwhelming response from our housing staff which enabled us to fill 73 boxes of goodies. We now intend to make this an annual event and hopefully seek sponsorship to ensure the project is bigger and better next year.”
The team, which included the helping hands of the Executive Management Team, braved the wintry weather just before Christmas Eve to deliver the parcels across the borough’s estates.
Angela added: “The tenants were really visibly surprised. It just goes to show that the little things we often take for granted really do make a huge difference.”
