December is a busy month packed with Christmas community activities. Five of our Community Programme companies are supporting local good causes this month and we are delighted to support them.
Christmas Wrapping at Montcalm Marble Arch:
The Montcalm Marble Arch were busy on Friday 6 December, hosting a Christmas wrapping station for the West London Mission. Montcalm guests were encouraged to make a small donation and support those affected by homelessness this winter. Montcalm plan to host additional sessions for last minute shoppers the following week.
Christmas Carols with Multiplex at One Marble Arch Place:
Later that day, 23 students from St Mary Magdalene Primary were invited to sing carols at One Marble Arch Place. Students sang to both office and site staff and were treated to a delicious canteen meal for lunch. The visit was to thank Multiplex and their contractors for raising £1500 for their school. The money will be going towards a new playhouse and the ongoing renovations of their Double Decker Bus turned library.
