🎁gbp staff bring festive cheer with Cash for Kids’ Mission Christmas appeal 💓At the end of last week, gbpartnerships colleagues came together with members of the Community Health Partnerships team to support Cash for Kids' Mission Christmas appeal - the UK’s largest Christmas gift initiative. With the goal of brightening the holiday season for thousands of children in need, staff used their volunteering days to make a difference. ❄️Thanks to the coordination of Joanne McGregor and a generous donation from the gbp foundation, the gbp team supported three dedicated volunteering days at The Fort Shopping Park on the outskirts of Birmingham. The team rolled up their sleeves to sort and pack gifts in freezing conditions, ensuring children woke up to a magical surprise on Christmas morning. 👨👩👧👦The #MissionChristmas appeal is a testament to the power of collective action, and gbp’s involvement reflects our commitment to supporting local communities. Together, the team made a significant impact, ensuring no child goes without a gift this Christmas. 🎄Let’s keep the festive spirit alive as we continue to support initiatives that spread joy and kindness as we move into Christmas, we'll share more details on our festive giving as we move into December. #ChristmasGiving #Charity #Volunteering

Today, at 11:00 am we will pause to observe a two-minute silence in honor of those who have served and sacrificed in times of conflict. This moment allows us to reflect on the courage, commitment, and resilience shown by our armed forces, past and present. We remember those who gave their lives for our freedom and acknowledge the enduring impact of war on individuals, families, and communities.
