Longhurst Group hands out festive ‘thank you’s

Kindhearted individuals and worthy causes from across Longhurst Group’s operational area are being recognised for the difference they make in their communities as part of our Good Deeds of Christmas campaign.

Staff from across the Group were asked for their nominations for which groups and individuals they felt deserved a festive hamper in the run-up to Christmas.

Over 20 nominations were received in total, with 13 different causes receiving Good Deeds in partnership with our contractors Keepmoat, Kier, Burleys, J R Allen, and Aaron Services.

Representatives from each contractor and colleagues from across the Group were on the judging panel, along with two of our customers.

Customer Engagement Team Manager, Helen Bird, said: “The Good Deeds of Christmas provides an excellent opportunity to thank those people in our community who voluntarily carry out good deeds to help others.

“Spire Homes had successfully delivered good deeds such as hampers, shopping vouchers and gifts for people in the Northamptonshire area in the past and after that success, last year, we decided to open this out to Longhurst Group as a whole to include, L&H, FCH and Axiom as well as Spire Homes.

“It’s been a huge success once again this year and we’re very pleased to be able to hand out hampers to deserving causes as our own way of saying ‘thank you’ for all they do.”

We’re very pleased to be able to hand out hampers to deserving causes to say ‘thank you’ for all they do.
