Framework are a charity that supports people who are homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Sheffield.
Each year at Framework they aim to provide a Christmas gifts to all their accommodation-based service users – around 1,300 people. In most cases this is the only gift they receive and it’s another method of reaching out and offering support, at a time which for many is both challenging and very lonely.
Framework rely on fundraising to support the Christmas gift idea and reached out to John E Wright and other businesses to ask if we would make them their charity of choice over the festive period.
Sunrise House which is based in Bestwood, was our chosen service we would be donating to. They are a 24/7 staffed supported accommodation service for young mothers and their children.
John E Wright & Co we're more than happy to donate some festive joy for such a good cause when we learned about this. We liked the popular shoe box idea, so we decided to make our very own and filled them with items such as; selection boxes, sweet treats, biscuits, toiletries, warm socks and much more!
Our staff kindly donated hampers from our suppliers which contributed to part of the festive donation. Staff also dug deep at their homes for puzzles and more mindful gifts, anything we thought that can make someone smile.
One hamper was donated directly to Framework's - Val Roberts House service, which would later be raffled on to generate a little money.
We hope this act of kindness, no matter how small brings a little light to someones life.
Merry Christmas from everyone at John E Wright & Co Ltd.
