Spicerhaart staff sell spare glad rags for Magic Moments
UK's biggest independent estate agency is working on rolling out initiative across its branch network after head office debut.
Estate agency giant Spicerhaart is hoping to roll out an unusual charity initiative pioneered at its head office across the firm’s branch network and even for colleagues working from home.
The group’s head office team in Colchester, Essex, have been bringing in ‘pre-loved’ work and leisure clothes for their colleagues who in turn give a donation to the company’s in-house children’s charity, Magic Moments.
It supports children and their families who are going through the hospice journey with a magical trip to Disneyland Paris.
Also, any items which remain unclaimed after a period of time will be donated to local homeless charity Beacon House.
Pippa Major (pictured), Magic Moments Board Member and Operations Manager & Business Analyst to the Group Managing Director at Spicerhaart, says: “Our Spicerhaart family have been donating preloved clothes, so that others can enjoy them, which is incredibly important for the sustainability of our planet.
“We are helping the environment by reducing our carbon emissions, reducing unnecessary use of water and energy whilst both minimising our contributions to landfill and incinerators. It’s our way of educating and ensuring that our family are conscious consumers, while supporting our own charity at the same time.”
Groceries
“We’re also encouraging them to bring in other items, such as books, which people can enjoy in their breaks, and household groceries which may otherwise go to waste.”
Spicerhaart Group Managing Director Antony Lark (pictured) adds: “What’s particularly pleasing is how these ideas have been generated by individuals.
“Pippa, as an example, has shown great passion for this and it is going to be a huge success in so many ways.”
