For the last few years, PAR Group employees have been saying "Bah Humbug!" to Christmas cards in favour of digging deep and making charitable donations to a number of worthy causes.
Each time the response from our staff has been fantastic, with increased amounts being raised year on year. We aim to carry on this tradition for 2017 in aid of two very worthy causes.
This years chosen charities are:
Lancashire Mind (Registered Charity No. 1081427)
"Through organised actions to bring about changes in policy, behaviour and culture we will achieve our vision of mental wellbeing for all. Providing training as part of workforce and student development".
Little Monkeys (Registered Charity No. 1084011)
"To help disadvantaged children and families living in Heywood with everyday items most of us take for granted. Little Monkeys mission is to help alleviate the effects of poverty on local children and their families”.
All monies raised by the campaign will be totalled and split 50/50 between the two chosen charities. As with previous years, PAR Group will also be doubling the total of all monies raised, enabling us to give more generously once again.
UPDATE
Our staff managed to raise a fantastic £805 across both branches, making a grand total of £1610 with the PAR Group's donation added on top. This has already been split and donated to the two very worthy charities above.
Until next year..."Bah Humbug!".
