Yesterday we received a lovely hamper full of Italian goodies from one of our supply partners.

Well, we decided that since we had already had the company's annual free draw, to raise some money for a local charity - North East Help Link...


North East Help Link Trust (Ltd) is a charitable organisation, providing help and advice to homeless people throughout the North East of England.

Established in the early 1990's, the Trust provides regular meals for the homeless throughout the North East. In addition to this, they provide clothing and blankets, advice and a listening ear.

Quite often their clients  just need a helping hand for a short while to take them through what is probably the most difficult period of their life. I am sure that we would all like to think that if we were in desperate need of help someone would step up and offer a helping hand.

Thanks to all who entered we raised £85 which will go a little way to help the charity, help those in need this Christmas.  More importantly, it gives us the opportunity to increase the charities profile, in the hope that more people will come forward to help!
