United in Kindness

United in Kindness

Our Hockley office is located right in the heart of the Village, just a couple of doors away from the busy Costa Coffee so as we approach Christmas and the queues for 'after-eight' hot chocolate (have you tried it yet?) get longer we thought it would be a good idea to invite local charities and voluntary groups to set up stalls on our forecourt.


We were delighted to welcome Corrina and Lyn representing United in Kind to our Hockley branch on Saturday to host an information stall outside highlighting the community projects being undertaken by the group like 'Hug in a Shrug'.

Over the next few weeks on Saturdays you can find Friends of the Triple H Choir, Hockley Ferret Rescue & Little Heroes ASD Support outside our office.
