Back in October 2020 during one of our Longley team meetings, we decided to start hosting our own Charity events as we wanted to give back to our community. With so much going on in the world and with so many people at a disadvantage. We started working on ideas about how we could play our part in making a small difference in the lives of people in need one step at a time.
Our first WeAreOne: Project was launched in November 2020 in partnership with John Bygraves. We decided on a Winter Warmer Appeal. The response from our close networks was amazing. Special thanks, goes out to Victoria Wheeler for the contribution of brand new hats and gloves, to the anonymous lady for the wash bags full with essential toiletries and Charlie Longley for his £500 cash gift which was spent on x50 new sleeping bags. John Bygraves also played a great role in helping pull this together and securing lots of amazing winter warmers that went direct to Nightwatch homeless Charity Croydon helping the homeless stay warm this winter and the long last food which went to the Bromley Borough Foodbank. Thank you to everyone that contributed to this winter appeal you have all helped to make a difference within our community.
We are already planning our next WeAreOne: Project and full details will be announced very soon across our socials and news section here on our Longley website.
