For the fourteenth consecutive year, Greenaway Residential has helped to feed almost 1,000 families for Christmas across West Sussex and the south east.

Through The Greenaway Foundation, which is dedicated to tackling child poverty in the region, the estate agent recruited over 400 volunteers to assist in packing and delivering both food and presents, which benefitted more than 2,000 children.

The initiative is not just a financial contribution, but represents a commitment to fostering hope for families facing hardship. This collective effort also highlights the dedication of the staff involved.

Darren Greenaway, Managing Director of Greenaway Residential Estate Agents and founder of The Greenaway Foundation, said: “This Christmas has been the busiest Christmas and year for the charity. The demand for assistance has never been greater, and the foundation’s response has been nothing short of extraordinary. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of collective action in the face of adversity.”

Special thanks

A week before Christmas, Darren was surprised by comedian Jason Manford on the BBC One Show’s “One Big Thank You,” which recognised his tireless efforts and the work of the charity throughout the year.

The Greenaway Foundation has successfully raised £125,000 for its charity and is already looking ahead to the summer, with plans to continue its support for school proms, trips, transport and uniforms and raise an ambitious £250,000 to assist 2,000 families next Christmas.
