Kings Chambers raises over £3,000 for the
Wood Street Mission
Kings Chambers has held its annual fundraiser for the Wood Street
Mission Christmas Appeal raising over £3,000.
Barristers, clerks and staff donated clothing, gifts and food to the
charity which supports disadvantaged children in Manchester and
Salford.
Wood Street Mission is a Manchester based children’s charity that
supports underprivileged children in Manchester and Salford, by
easing the impact of poverty on families. Last year the charity gave
new toys and food to over 2,000 families and 4,500 children
nationwide.
Its Christmas Appeal aims to give children suffering through
poverty gifts and food so they can have a positive experience
celebrating the festive period regardless of their circumstances.
For the past five years Kings Chambers has supported the charity’s
Christmas Appeal and the Wood Street Mission’s Easter Project
which gives Easter eggs to children who would not normally
receive them.
Debra Andrés, Chambers Director at Kings Chambers said:
“Supporting local charities such as Wood Street Mission is a huge
part of our ethos and we are delighted to support the charity’s
Christmas Appeal again this year.
“The charity’s Appeal is a fantastic initiative that helps
disadvantaged children enjoy the magic of Christmas, making it a
positive experience for them and their families.
“As always, the support shown by the members and staff of Kings
Chambers has been tremendous. The charity’s Christmas Appeal is
a particularly worthy cause, which we are always delighted to
support.
