Kind-hearted colleagues at South Cheshire firm The County Group are supporting needy families with a Christmas food collection at the company\u2019s Crewe headquarters.<\/p>\n

Team members are collecting for St Paul\u2019s Pantry in Crewe which supports local families in crisis with emergency food parcels distributed through a network of local churches.<\/p>\n

The company, which employs more than 70 people on Crewe Business Park, staged a push for donations on Christmas jumper day and employees answered the call, turning up for work loaded with carrier bags of food.<\/p>\n

Managing director Alastair Christopherson said: “St Paul\u2019s do sterling work supporting families and hopefully this effort will go some way to supporting those who struggle to put basics on the table and give them chance to enjoy a few indulgent luxuries this Christmas.”<\/p>\n

The County Group<\/a>, founded in 2003, employs 300 people across a network of offices.<\/p>\n

It is a long-term sponsor of Nantwich Town FC<\/a> and Nantwich Cricket Club and supporting grass-roots causes is part of its mission statement.<\/p>\n

Staff have fundraised for causes including Save the Children, Cancer Research, Macmillan Cancer Support, MIND and RNLI.<\/p>\n

They have staged coffee mornings, baked cakes, performed parachute jumps, run marathons and given up drink for a whole year for sponsorship.<\/p>\n

They have collected toys and clothes for families in need and female staff happily donated a bumper load of bras for the Against Breast Cancer appeal.<\/p>\n

Mr Christopherson added: “There\u2019s great camaraderie at County and genuine kind-heartedness towards the community where we live and do business.<\/p>\n

“We can always rely on our team to deliver for charity.<\/p>\n

“And with so many more local families in need this year due to the pandemic we knew there would be an extra special effort for St Paul\u2019s Pantry.”<\/p>\n
