Avove’s Team Brings Festive Cheer to North Manchester
Volunteers from Avove’s Severn Trent contract lend a helping hand in local community
At Avove, we are passionate about volunteering our time to help charities in the local community. Find out how our BTG team supported The Chatterbox Project in North Manchester.
Spreading festive cheer with food, decorations, and tech support
Our Business Technology Group team volunteered at The Chatterbox Project, a charity located in Blackley, North Manchester, dedicated to supporting the local community through a range of activities and services, including a food bank, addiction support sessions, free community meals, peer support, informal financial advice, and more.
The team took along food items and packed food parcels for the charity’s food bank, decorated the hall for a toddlers’ Christmas party, and used their IT expertise to set up laptops that had been donated to the charity.
A time to reflect
Jo Lewis, our Head of Solution Delivery, said: “We had such a lovely day – not only was it so rewarding to be able to help others, but also time to reflect on life and get to know each other on a personal level and share stories of the past and hopes for the future.”
The volunteering liaison for the charity, Debbie Whiteley, thanked the team for their support: “The team from Avove were the best we’ve ever had. Friendly and sociable. The toddlers will love the decorations on Monday, and our clients will be grateful for food parcels.”
