The staff team at Russell Roof Tiles are supporting two children’s charities local to its sites in Burton and Lochmaben this Christmas.
Russell Roof Tiles is helping The Young Ones, a charity which provides gift boxes for local children in crisis that are requested by Family Support Agencies. Russell Roof Tiles has collected hundreds of pounds worth of goods, toys and items for the gift boxes, as well as providing free packaging materials and transport to deliver the boxes in time for Christmas.
The company is also donating £500 to Westsound Cash for Kids – a local to Lochmaben charity that helps children across Dumfries and Galloway, working with local grassroots organisations to directly support families.
Andrew Hayward, managing director of Russell Roof Tiles, commented: “It’s essential for all businesses to support their local communities to do their bit, especially at Christmas, which is a challenging time for many people.
“We’ve been overwhelmed with the generosity of our staff who have come together to help these amazing local charities and I’m pleased we can play a small part in assisting children and young people.”
Sheila Meacham, treasurer for The Young Ones Burton, added: “We’re delighted to have been chosen by Russell Roof Tiles this Christmas and thank everyone across the company for their kind and generous support. These wonderful donations will bring smiles and happiness to many local children at this special time of year.”
Andrew Irving, charity manager at Westsound Cash for Kids, also said: “We are thrilled that Russell Roof Tiles have chosen us to support us this Christmas. The money donated will go an incredibly long way to helping young people in the area, and we can’t thank everyone at Russell Roof Tiles enough for their support.”
Since 2016, Russell Roof Tiles has donated over £110,000 to various causes and community projects, close to its sites, such as Shropshire, Staffordshire & Cheshire Blood Bikes, Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity and Dumfries and Galloway Health Board Endowment Fund. The company encourages and supports its employees with fundraising.
