‘Project Sleigh’ delivers joy across the North East

A holiday campaign is bringing seasonal cheer to North East communities through thoughtful donations and collaborations with local charities.

Renewable energy specialists 0800 Repair and Oakes Energy, both based in Houghton-le-Spring and part of the PHS Group, have launched Project Sleigh, a Christmas initiative delivering gifts and donations to charities across the region.

Using their ‘0800 Repair Sleigh,’ the team is working alongside clients, councils and housing groups to spread some festive goodwill.

The collaborative effort invites clients to select charities meaningful to them, enabling a diverse range of contributions, from food and toys to cash gifts.

Jason Oakes, director at Oakes Energy and 0800 Repair said: “Project Sleigh allows our clients to give back in a way that feels personal and impactful.

“Whether it’s toys for children, resources for food banks, or monetary support for grassroots organisations, the campaign is about spreading joy and making a difference during the festive season.

“Project Sleigh exemplifies how businesses, clients, and charities can collaborate to make the holiday season brighter for all.

“With a shared mission of giving back, 0800 Repair and Oakes Energy are ensuring that the spirit of Christmas reaches every corner of the community.”

Beneficiary organisations include NE Youth, Wansbeck Valley Food Bank and Love, Amelia, all of which support local communities during the holiday season.

Julie Burgess-Mcilwaine, community retrofit energy advisor at Northumberland County Council, added: “The donations from 0800 Repair have been invaluable to Wansbeck Valley Food Bank food bank this Christmas.

“Our work with 0800 has contributed to helping homes across the county and these donations mean providing not just essentials, but a little extra to make the season special for families in need.

“As a council we feel it’s important to give back to the community. To everyone involved, thank you for helping us bring hope and joy to those who need it most this festive season.”
