Office workers bring the spirit of Christmas to local children
Staff at Active Care Group’s finance office based in Darlington have been spreading festive cheer in a truly inspiring way for the past decade.
Instead of participating in the traditional Secret Santa exchange, the team of 35 colleagues has redirected their festive spirit into supporting charitable causes, demonstrating their commitment to making a difference.
This year, the staff have gone above and beyond by creating gift bags for children at two residential children’s homes, Norton Court House in Stockton and Granville Lodge in Hartlepool. The team’s thoughtful initiative ensures these young recipients feel the joy and magic of the festive season.
Each carefully crafted gift bag includes a delightful assortment of items such as snow globes, cosy socks, delicious chocolates, stickers, and sensory toys. These thoughtfully selected gifts are designed not only to bring smiles but also to cater to the sensory needs of the children, making them meaningful and enjoyable.
The colleagues at the Darlington Office are advocates of the true meaning of the festive season through their generosity and dedication. Their inspiring approach serves as a reminder of how small acts of kindness can create a big impact.
