Grant Property gives back this Christmas

Due to the success of last year's Secret Santa for Barnardo's, Grant Property decided this year to spread our generosity over three charities - Barnardo's, Forth 1's Cash for Kids and Rock Trust Edinburgh.

Barnardo's and Forth One Cash for Kids

We were absolutely delighted to support Barnardo’s once again - they truly are an amazing charity who work with over 14,500 vulnerable children, young people and their families across Scotland.

In order to spread the Christmas cheer that bit further, we also decided to support Forth One's Cash for Kids and ASC Ltd's Mission Christmas campaign, which was created in order to make Christmas morning a little bit brighter for disadvantaged local children.

They asked people to buy just one extra present this year – to ensure that children in poverty will wake up to a Christmas with presents

Therefore, we asked our staff, tenants, friends and family to donate new and unwrapped gifts to our head office in Edinburgh so that we could pass them on to Forth One's Cash for Kids and Barnardo's.

As you can see on your right, we were overwhelmed with the response and we really cannot thank you enough for the support.

Rock Trust Edinburgh

As well as donating gifts to Barnardo's and the Mission Christmas campaign, we also supported The Rock Trust Edinburgh, which helps homeless or socially excluded young people in the Lothians to enjoy a better Christmas and a brighter new year.

Their role is to advise, educate and support young people to help them build the personal skills and resources required to make a positive and healthy transition to adulthood.

We asked our team to make a monetary donation or choose an 'ethical' Christmas gift card, whereby you could choose your Christmas gifts from a selection.

In return, you received a gift card to give to your relative or friend. The gift then went to one of the young people that The Rock Trust supports to help turn their house into a home.

We will let you all know how much we raised for The Rock Trust as soon as we have the final total available.

No matter how much we raised, we sincerely hope that we have contributed in some small way to Barnardo's, Forth One's Cash For Kids and The Rock Trust Edinburgh - and we hope that our donations will make it a very Merry Christmas for all this year.
