Timberlook, the heritage wood-effect uPVC brand from leading fabricator Affordable Windows Group, is proud to announce its involvement in KidsOut’s inspiring Christmas initiative, #TheOriginalGivingTree campaign.
The team at Timberlook and the wider Affordable Window Group chose to swap Secret Santa for a more meaningful cause this Christmas, providing brand new toys for children who have fled domestic abuse and are now living in refuge.
KidsOut, a charity dedicated to bringing fun and positive experiences to disadvantaged children, organises #TheOriginalGivingTree as an alternative to traditional corporate gifting. The initiative encourages businesses to buy gifts for children who receive little or nothing at Christmas.
Timberlook’s team supported this fantastic cause by purchasing a wide range of new toys listed on the dedicated Giving Tree tags which includes the name of a child and the gift they would love to receive from Father Christmas.
Amelia Gaughan, Head of Marketing at Affordable Windows Group, said: “Learning about the KidsOut Giving Tree initiative truly resonated with our team. The opportunity to bring a little joy and excitement to children who have experienced incredibly challenging circumstances meant a great deal to all of us. Choosing to forgo our usual Secret Santa in favour of donating gifts that could brighten a child’s Christmas felt like a total no brainer.
“Fundraising for this campaign became a genuine team effort, with colleagues across the business coming together to purchase gifts, supported by a company donation to the appeal. Our loaders and transport teams also played an important role, ensuring every toy reached Luton on time. We are proud to have contributed in a small way to such a meaningful cause.”
Last Christmas, the KidsOut Giving Tree campaign successfully donated over 51,000 brand new toys to children in refuge. Timberlook and the wider Affordable Window Group hope their contribution will help reach even more children this year.
