With the countdown to Christmas starting andersonbain is proud to support abernecessities' “Believe in Magic” campaign again this year as an official drop-point off point.
The campaign helps to ensure no child in the North-east goes with out at this time of year.
Paul Flecher Herd, partner at andersonbain, said: “We’re delighted to support abernecessities Christmas campaign again this year. abernecessities do such a tremendous amount of work throughout our region and we’re always happy and determined to assist wherever we can, through fundraising events throughout the year to offering a convenient place to drop off gifts and using our busy city centre office to raise awareness of the 'Believe in Magic campaign'."
If you’re heading into the city centre over a lunch break or the coming weekends for a look round the shops and you’re in a position to help, then please consider picking up some of the essential items that can help bring a bit of magic to a child who might otherwise go without over the Christmas period.
