Chamber volunteers smash centenary challenge target

Chamber colleagues have completed their fourth centenary challenge by packing 100 aid boxes for the vulnerable.

The volunteers spent the day with support charity Goods for Good at its St Albans depot.

Goods for Good delivers essentials such as clothing, footwear, bedding and hygiene goods to people in difficult circumstances in the UK and dozens of countries overseas.

Chamber managing director Donna Schultz was among the group giving their time to help out.

She said: “It was an absolute pleasure to give back, and the people at Goods for Good do a wonderful job. We’re looking forward to hearing their story at our Women in Leadership lunch in September.

“I’d like to thank all the volunteers who took part, and Goods for Good for hosting us for the day.”

Goods for Good head of partnerships and fundraising Andrew Anastasiou said: “Amazing you did it – 100 boxes for 100 years! I must admit, we were not sure you would make it.

“A great effort. Thank you for coming down and lending a helping hand.”

The charity’s founder and CEO Rosalind Bluestone added: “Thank you all for this huge effort from your team. Challenge accomplished!”
