Space Group’s Christmas Giving Tree with presents for disadvantaged youngsters from Children North East. ARCHITECTURAL firm Space Group is hoping to lift disadvantaged kids ‘out of this world’ by delivering special Christmas gifts.
As part of Space Group’s Christmas ‘giving tree’ scheme, talent manager Diane Charlton gave each of Space’s 140 employees a gift tag with the name, age and interests of a child helped by Children North East.
Each person was then given a budget of £10 to spend on a Christmas present.
Space Group has supported the region’s oldest children’s charity Children North East for many years. It is currently volunteering its services in-kind by designing and building a new youth drop-in centre for the charity - The West End Youth Enquiry Service (WEYES), and every year it arranges the ‘Think Pink’ ball for the charity.
Space Group talent manager Diane Charlton said: “Space Group has always championed Children North East because of the excellent work they do for disadvantaged children within the region.
“Our Christmas ‘giving tree’ is a great way for all our people to give Christmas presents to children not so fortunate at this time of year. We all can’t wait for the excuse to go shopping for a special child whose Christmas would otherwise be a bit grim.”
Children North East’s Carol Taylor said: ‘We are very thankful to Space Group for all its support over the years. Their gifts this Christmas will be cheerfully received by the children and put a smile on their faces over the festive season.”
Children North East was formed in 1891 and is the longest running children’s charity in the North East.
The organisation manages a number of diverse, region-wide community-based projects from Northumberland to Teesside.
The charity aims to enable children and young people to reach their full potential and to ease the pressures that life’s inequalities can bring.
