Christmas Jumper Day 2022

Once again Adams Harrison staff were excited to join in the Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day 2022, and they were all very grateful for the extra layer of clothing due to winter finally arriving with sub-zero temperatures overnight!

We are busy counting the donations made by staff who donned their Christmas jumpers.

This year will be TWICE as good as before because for every £2 donated the UK government promised to give £2 to Save the Children too.

Here is a photo of our staff in Saffron Walden office who got into the Christmas spirit!

Cakes For Macmillan October 2022

Debra Tofts, receptionist at Sawston wrote this poem about the week:-

A cup of tea

A slice of cake

Mid morning time

Afternoon delight

 

Happily baking

Buying and making

Time to savour

Enjoying the flavour

 

Brownies a plenty

Flapjack so chewy

Scones with cream

Rocky road a dream

 

Coins being rattled

Donations flooding in

For when it comes to Macmillan

Well where do we begin

Haverhill Rotary Club Young Citizens Awards Dinner

Adams Harrison were delighted to sponsor the Haverhill Rotary Club Young Citizens Awards Dinner at Haverhill Golf Club on 21st March.

Jennifer Carpenter, Managing Partner, attended the prize giving. The awards were made by the District Governor, Ian Elliot of the District Rotary Club to four local students chosen by their head teachers. 2 students from Samuel Ward Academy School were chosen by Mr Andy Hunter; and 2 students from Castle Manor Academy School were chosen by Mrs Vanessa Whitcombe.

Jennifer said

It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and a fantastic award to support. The students were all very well deserving in receiving the award for their outstanding contribution to school and community life and for being great young role models to their peers.

The Rotary Club stated that it was an apt award for them to present as the Rotary moto is “Service above Self”.

Adams Harrison Makes Donation To Sawston Charity In Lieu Of Sending Christmas Cards

We have, for a number of years, donated to good causes at Christmas in lieu of sending Christmas cards. This helps the environment by reducing paper usage and waste, and staff in each office are asked to make suggestions as to which local good cause should receive a donation.

Adams Harrison Makes Donation To Saffron Walden Charity In Lieu Of Sending Christmas Cards

The Partners at Adams Harrison have, for a number of years, donated to good causes at Christmas in lieu of sending Christmas cards. This helps the environment by reducing paper usage and waste, and staff are asked to make suggestions as to which local good cause should receive a donation, and a good cause local to each office is chosen.

For December 2021 Café Cornell was chosen to be the recipient of a £200 donation from the Saffron Walden office.

Staff and helpers visited the Adams Harrison office on Wednesday 13 January to receive the cheque.

Practice Manager, Louise Taghi, said

We take our community and social responsibilities very seriously and for a number of years we have made donations to local good causes in lieu of sending Christmas cards. We are conscious of the negative environmental impact of sending Christmas cards and we used the money saved to donate to a good cause. Café Cornell has been operating at Cornell Court in Saffron Walden since May 2021 for residents and general public and also offers a work-based training scheme which is focused on enabling individuals facing challenges and barriers to work to build confidence and to work towards formal qualifications. We were delighted to welcome trainees, staff and volunteers to our ‘covid-safe’ space in our car park on Wednesday so that we could present them with a cheque for £200.

 

Charity Donations Instead of Christmas Cards

The partners of Adams Harrison have decided that in lieu of sending corporate Christmas cards they will be donating the money normally spent to three local charities  – REACH Haverhill; The John Huntingdon’s Charity in Sawston and Café Cornell in Saffron Walden. In addition to supporting local charities this is also incorporating the firm’s commitment to reduce it’s environmental impact. If you wish to donate to any of these great charities please click on one of the images below to go directly to their website.
