Company prepares to share and care
4:40pm Saturday 7th June 2008
By Claire Fry »
AN estate agent in the heart of Worcester is showing its caring side by taking part in a new charity event to help bereaved families.
Griffiths and Charles, based on Foregate Street, have signed up for the Noah's Ark Trust Sharing and Caring Activity Week, which starts on Monday.
The charity is running the week for everyone to take part in - which could be schools, nurseries, colleges and places of work - for people to share an event, such as baking and eating a cake.
Hayley Fowler, marketing and communications co-ordinator for the Noah's Ark Trust, said: "We've had a great response to our Sharing and Caring Activity Week, which runs until Sunday, June 15."
Charles Robinson, from Griffiths and Charles, said the firm was delighted to take part in the event.
The charity, which helps young people and their families who have been bereaved, hopes that more people will take part and choose something of their own that they can share with others. If anyone cannot organise their own event, the charity is inviting people to visit them to a coffee morning at the Guildhall in Worcester on Friday, June 13, between 10am and 1pm.
Currently the trust is working with your Worcester News in the Towards A Brighter Future Appeal, looking for a home in the community to rent for a reasonable rate so it can continue to deliver its services in the two counties.
If you want to take part in the Sharing And Caring event or have a property available for the trust, call 01905 745735, e-mail info@noahsarktrust. co.uk or visit their website www.noahsarktrust.co.uk.
