GEOLOG, a global leader in surface logging, well-site geoscience, and advanced drilling optimisation services, has once again brought festive spirit by sponsoring Befriend a Child’s 2025 Christmas Party.

The company, known for delivering high-value geological insights that help oil and gas operators drill safer and more efficiently, is equally committed to making a meaningful impact in the local community. 

For many of the children and young people supported by Befriend a Child, the holiday season can be a difficult period. However, the annual Christmas celebration for over 160 children and volunteers, held at The Altens Hotel, offers a magical moment of joy and excitement. With games, a traditional Christmas meal, and a special appearance from Santa delivering gifts, the event provides memories the children cherish long after the holidays have passed.

GEOLOG’s involvement with the charity extends well beyond the festive season. Through the GEOLOG Foundation, the company supports projects that uplift young people and promote wellbeing in local communities. In 2024, GEOLOG funded important upgrades to Befriend a Child’s Bon Accord Square facilities, helping create a more welcoming, safe, and engaging environment for the children and volunteers who rely on the charity’s support.

Alistair Gray, Region Manager for Northsea at GEOLOG, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting Befriend a Child’s Children’s Christmas Party once again. At GEOLOG, we believe in helping children thrive and creating opportunities for them to experience joy, confidence and connection. Partnering with Befriend a Child allows us to make a meaningful difference to young people here in the North East, and we’re incredibly proud to play a part in bringing some festive magic to their celebrations.”

Sarah Misra, CEO of Befriend a Child, added: “The continued generosity and involvement of GEOLOG makes an enormous difference to the children and young people we support. Many of them face significant challenges, and GEOLOG’s support ensures they not only enjoy a magical Christmas experience but also benefit from improved facilities and opportunities throughout the year. We cannot thank them enough for their continued support as they sponsor our Christmas Party again and can’t wait for an unforgettable day with the children and young people.” 

Befriend a Child are beyond delighted to be welcoming the children for a day of festive fun, creating special memories and joy this Christmas. Thanks to the community support of local partnerships, the charity is able to create a lasting difference in the lives of local children and young people growing up in difficult life circumstances.
