Operation Christmas Child Update

Operation Christmas Child Update

Our business has supported the Samaritans Purse 'Operation Christmas Child' charity for many years and have always been blessed by a terrific amount of donations to be distributed to those in need by our local community.

We were delighted to hear from our contact at The Samaritans Purse this morning with an update on the boxes filled by our community and collected by our Hockley team. Amazing generosity from this region with 4192 filled shoeboxes sent across the globe for youngsters who would not ordinarily receive a gift at Christmas. Our boxes ended up with youngsters in Liberia and Moldova, specifically at camps established to support those displaced by the conflict in the Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Whether you’re moving into your first rental or switching properties, understanding what to look for can save you stress, money, and future headaches.
