Staff at Peterborough lettings agency to deliver meals on Christmas Day to emergency workers and homeless

Generous staff at a Peterborough lettings firm are to deliver thousands of meals on Christmas Day to emergency workers and charities across the city.

Colleagues at Blenheim Sales and Lettings, based in Blenheim Court, Peppercorn Close, are planning to provide delicious meals for workers with the police, fire and ambulance services who are working on Christmas Day.

This will be the second year the company has helped to feed those emergency staff who have to work on Christmas Day.

Last year, its staff handed out 500 meals to emergency workers across the city but this year the firm plans to extend its meals donations to local homeless charities or those organisations supporting people who may need some additional help over Christmas.

Tania Chamera, office manager, said: "If anyone knows of a local charity or organisations that may benefit from meal donations, we would be very grateful if they could contact our office so that we can discuss their requirements and make suitable arrangements.”

As well as the meal donations, Blenheim Sales and Lettings will be making financial donations to some chosen charities, one of which will be Sue Ryder.

Tania said: "This is something we are very proud to be able to do as a local business.

"And after the response we received last year, we are delighted to be continuing the initiative again this Christmas.

"We feel it is important to show our appreciation to those who continue to work and support the community, even on Christmas Day.

She added: "As a local business, giving back to the community is something that is very important to us, particularly at Christmas.

"We hope that by working with local organisations, we can make a small difference to as many people as possible over the festive period.”

She said we will be using Mangla Catering to provide the meals.

"We will also be providing bottles of water, mince pies and cakes which will all be paid for, by our business.”

“We have contacted the hospital, police and firefighters who will be working on the day, to try and arrange to deliver the meals ourselves.”

Tania added: “We would encourage any interested charities to contact our office directly so that we can discuss their requirements and make the necessary arrangements on 01733 639 055 . “

Blenheim Sales and Lettings was founded in 2019 and has regularly helped out local causes and charities.
