Romanian gifts and ‘taches

 

Staff at Southam based construction specialists Alumet have been collecting Christmas gifts for disadvantages families.

Staff were supporting the Link Romania charity, which distributes shoeboxes full of gifts to poverty stricken families in Romania, Albania, Bulgaria, Moldova and the Ukraine.

The boxes are full of items such as toiletries, sweets and toys, and are most likely the only presents the families receive at Christmas.

Alumet's staff grouped together to fill 12 boxes which will be added to other collections across the country.

Meanwhile, 27 members of staff at the Alumet Group took part in Movember, a fundraising event where men grow moustaches throughout November.

Staff each donated £5 to take part, with all funds going to Myton Hospice.

Hannah Morris from Myton Hospice judged the 'taches along with Alumet's retired construction manager and 'king of the tache' Graham Hindley. The winner was contracts director Steve Smith, with Lee Aston in close second place.
 
Hannah said: "It's great to see so many of Alumet's staff taking part in Movember. It’s a bit of fun, but also a great way to raise essential funds for Myton Hospice. We are very grateful for Alumet's support."
