Firm help needy to make a fresh start
KINDHEARTED staff at a Rochdale firm are helping underprivileged people in the local area to make a fresh start this New Year.
Supporters of local charities and worthy causes, the team at homes and mortgages company, Revilo Group, raised a fantastic £3,500 over the festive period and have already donated a number of household items to those with housing issues.
After handing out close to 200 presents to Rochdale Council’s Giving Back Christmas toy appeal and a local women’s refuge, the generous employees at
Revilo are now aiming to keep the cheer going all year through much needed support for the Petrus community projects.
Petrus provides residential and day support services to people who are homeless or in housing need.
Revilo Homes and Mortgages Managing Director Jemma Holden said: “As a business we are always keen to help out where we can and with the new year presenting a fresh start for many, our thoughts naturally turned to those less fortunate.
“We have helped some wonderful causes of late, and we were particularly keen to continue our support of Petrus, who provide a wide range of services for the most vulnerable in our communities.
“Almost £2,000 of the total donated by the business has gone towards a number of household items, including vacuum cleaners, dishwashers and sofas. It’s been a real team effort, with everyone at Bridgefold Road - Revilo Homes, Mortgages, Insurance, Developments and Automotive - helping out in one way or another.”
