Everyone at Vfast HQ is so excited to take part in our first ever Christmas Giving Tree!
This year we all felt like changing things up a bit, we normally take part in a secret santa but in the last year our office dynamic and size has changed dramatically, not to mention the changes in economy with the cost of living crisis. We were all excited at the prospect of doing something to help those in need and to support our staff to give back without it having to cost them anything apart from a bit of time.
We started by selecting two fantastic charity partners, which was extremely challenging as there are so many good causes. Once we decided who to support we started working out how.
This year our Christmas Tree will be filled with gift tags which will have gift ideas for the recipients of the giving tree. To enable everyone to take part, the first £10 of every gift will be funded by the business with an optional personal top up. All our team have to do is take a tag, then purchase the gift and wrap it up! Every present will be labelled to show who the gift is more suitable for so our charity partners can give the right gifts to the right people/furry friend!
The wonderful causes we are supporting this year are.........
A fantastic charity who are making a positive difference by putting older people, and the people around them, at the heart of what they do. They are on a mission to end loneliness and during the festive season they host Christmas Lunches for their day centre clients. This year, every one of their clients will receive a special Gift from the Team at Vfast. No one wants to imagine their elderly loved ones alone at Christmas, we are thrilled to be able to spread a little extra joy at their celebration this year! 👴👵🎉🎅🎁
Guardian Angels Dog Rescue
A small organisation born 8 years ago out of a passion to help dogs who have no where else to go. Abandoned and unloved, Guardian Angels take in any dog with the goal of finding them love in their forever homes. Run entirely by volunteers, they are totally reliant on the support of the public and kind hearted animal lovers to support their organisation. Without this charity there would be no other option for these dogs in need and organisations are forced to euthanise. A dog is not just for Christmas, if you can give a loving forever home or foster home to a dog please contact the charity. This year the dogs will have some extra love with some fun Christmas toys, but also we will be providing the necessities that the volunteers and fosterers need to care for the dogs. They also have a shop and host tombola's so any prize donations are welcome. 🎁🐩🐶🐕❤️
Sending seasons greetings to all our readers 😀
