Agents Do Charity - get ready to give

A variety of charities have received support from the property industry this week.

If there are charitable endeavours you think the rest of the industry should know about, please email us on press@estateagenttoday.co.uk, or get in touch via our social platforms, and we’ll do the rest.

 Agents Giving: Industry charity Agents Giving is continuing its support of The Trussell Trust with a national initiative on Agents Giving Day.

The event takes place on 20 June and supported by The Guild of Property Professionals and Relocation Agent Network.

You can help by preparing a simple food parcel to donate to your local food bank. 

Check with your food bank website for their shopping list of items they need the most.

Don’t forget to invite your local community to take part and collect food donations in your office as everything will help make a big difference to the ongoing need for emergency food in all our local communities.

David Newnes, chairman of Agents Giving, said: “Please support your local food bank this Agents Giving Day. By simply collecting up and donating a food parcel it can help make such a difference to those living and going hungry in our local communities”.
