Workers at Manchester Airport have generously given over £10,000 worth of presents to those who are homeless, live in care homes, or come from underprivileged backgrounds after being called on for donations.
The airport made a promise that they would ensure that no person in their nearby communities who is vulnerable would be without a gift on Christmas morning. This promise resulted in a great response from the airport's employees who generously donated over 1,000 presents.
The presents generously given consisted of reading materials, puzzle games, soft stuffed animals, building blocks, and art kits. The airport contributed approximately a thousand additional gifts to supplement the donations.
Chris Woodroofe, who is the Managing Director, along with other high-ranking officials of the airport, dedicated their time to pack up a large number of gifts. These presents were subsequently allocated to roughly twelve community centres, care homes, family charities, and food banks during the week that followed.
Crossacres Day Centre, which is run by Age UK Manchester, recently received 75 wonderful gifts. These thoughtful presents will be distributed amongst the centre's clients, who greatly appreciate the social connections and vital assistance with daily living provided by the facility. According to Zoe Jones, the Centre Manager, this generous donation will be very much appreciated by everyone at Crossacres Day Centre.
A lot of customers at our daycare are lonely and don't have any other means of communicating with the world outside. These generous donations will help them feel appreciated and cared for during the holidays. The kind gesture from the team at Manchester Airport will result in a lot of happy faces, and we are very grateful for their support.
Marion Lauder House, a residence for elderly individuals located in Wythenshawe, along with Family Action (a charity that runs five Children's Centers), and Wythenshawe Foodbank were all beneficiaries of donated gifts.
The team responsible for connecting with the community at the airport arranged for the gathering and dissemination of presents. They have also participated in multiple other initiatives meant to provide assistance to locals residing near the airport, slated for 2023. Such events include a festive feast called 'Autumn Leaves' aimed at senior citizens in Woodhouse Park, which aims to alleviate the impacts of loneliness among the elderly, along with distributing the 'Little Book of Travel Tales' gratis to schools for World Book Day to help children strengthen their reading skills.
