In 2020 Howard Civil Engineering donated over £300 worth of presents to the Mission Christmas appeal in West Yorkshire, and this year we wanted to make it even bigger!

Earlier this week, we helped Cash for Kids spread Christmas cheer across South Yorkshire with a donation of gifts for their Hallam FM Mission Christmas appeal including footballs, construction toys, speakers, bathing sets and backpacks.

The Hallam FM Mission Christmas appeal will ensure 22,000 children across South Yorkshire receive at least one present this Christmas, including those local to our Olive Lane site in Rotherham.

In a regular year, Hallam FM’s Mission Christmas appeal relies on up to 500 volunteers, but due to COVID restrictions the operation is dependent upon only 190 volunteers.

Allan Ogle, charity manager for Cash for Kids, who deliver Mission Christmas, said: “We are anticipating a huge increase in applications we fulfil this year and it’s not possible to do it without the support of the general public and in particular our business community. The donation and support from Howard Civil Engineering has proved valuable to this years operation and I’m incredibly grateful to all the team for their support.”

We are honoured to be able to support the charity with their efforts this December and we hope the recipients are able to have a very merry Christmas as a result of these donations!

Throughout December, Howard Civil Engineering is spreading festive cheer by donating £5,000 to a variety of charities and community groups across Yorkshire! We have chosen 12 different causes to help this festive period and we will be documenting these throughout the month using the hashtag #12DaysOfHCE.
