Kings Chambers raises nearly £4,000 for The Wood Street Mission

BARRISTERS at Kings Chambers in Manchester raised nearly £4,000 from its members for Wood Street Mission.

The team also donated hundreds of pounds worth of toys and food items for the charity which aims to alleviate the effects of poverty on local children and their families and improve life chances through practical help all year round.

At Christmas, the charity gives children a gift to open on Christmas morning along with a hamper of food for families.

Debra Andres, chambers director at Kings Chambers said:

“We’re proud of all our members and our staff who are enabling vulnerable local families to enjoy Christmas a little more this year. The work undertaken by Wood Street Mission is incredible and we’re delighted to support it this year.”

Roseanne Sweeney chief executive of Wood Street Mission said:

“Christmas is a difficult time of year for struggling families and this generosity from Kings Chambers goes some way to supporting us in giving out toys and food to about 2,000 families and 4,500 children in the coming weeks.”
