50 families in Barnsley won’t have to worry about their next meal over the Christmas holidays thanks to Howard Civil Engineering!
As part of our #12DaysOfHCE charity campaign, we have donated £500 towards HOPE in Community’s Healthy Holidays initiative which supports 50 families (approximately 150 children) over the Christmas break.
This donation will help to fund meals for families who are struggling to make ends meet this Christmas, a selection box for each child and a food hamper worth £20-£30.
HOPE in Community is a charitable organisation dedicated to bringing members of the Barnsley community together with the aim of advancing education, recreation, and leisure time, and ultimately improving the quality of life for Barnsley residents.
Founded in 2017, the organisation regularly hosts cooking workshops, toddler groups, listening services and gardening groups to positively engage and support members of their local community. They are also looking forward to opening a charity support hub on 7th January at 12 Peel Square, Barnsley, S70 1YA.
Founder and chairperson Peter Robertshaw said: “This donation will make a really difference to the families we support to make sure they have a meal on Christmas day, as well as attending our Healthy Holidays groups which will provide them with a range of fun festive activities. Thank you to all the team at Howard Civil Engineering for choosing HOPE in Community to be one of the charities you bless this Christmas!”
Throughout December, Howard Civil Engineering is spreading festive cheer by donating £5,000 to a variety of charities and community groups across the north of England! We have chosen 12 different causes to help this festive period and we will be documenting these throughout the month using the hashtag #12DaysOfHCE.
