GWA Community News and Staff News
COMMUNITY NEWS –
As we look forward to Spring and the lighter, brighter days ahead, we round up what has been a busy few months as we came to the end of 2023 and welcomed the New Year. Our support of local causes, initiatives and hosting of our own events has been as busy as ever…
In the run up to Christmas all three of our offices were drop off points for the Mission Christmas Cash for Kids campaign. Thank you to all our clients and staff who dropped off gifts and supported this great initiative.
In January 2024 we welcomed Amanda Simmister from the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) to our Berwick upon Tweed Office. Amanda was presented with donations by GWA staff. We raised £361.25 from our annual Christmas Jumper Day on 15 December 2023. The total amount of ongoing funds raised to date, is an impressive £3,500.00
Some of our staff joined Amanda for a bracing walk around the town’s Elizabethan Walls as part of the GNAAS Walk the Wall 2024 Challenge.
Well done to everyone who has played a part in raising these much-needed funds over the years!
In February we supported Berwick Races – Point to Point. We have recently renewed our sponsorship of both Minto Golf Club and Magdalene Fields Golf Club.
