THE Christmas cheer is coming out early at one accountancy firm in Swindon.
Haines Watts Swindon is supporting the #AdventofChange movement, a national advent calendar challenge to donate money to 24 selected charities during the festive season.
For each window opened £1 goes to each day's nominated charity. They including the Marine Conservation Charity, The Refugee Council, Crisis, and a number of small UK-based causes.
Mike Lloyd, managing partner of Haines Watts, Swindon said: “We’re proud to be supporting this initiative which supports a range of UK and global charities. To be able to give back in this small way to so many organisations doing important work for people, animals, the environment is a worthwhile thing to do especially at this time of year.
“The calendars take five days to arrive so it’s best to order before Sunday November 25.”
The calendars cost £27.95 and £24 goes to the chosen charities, which will be revealed each day during December.
The remaining money pays to maintain the not-for-profit organisation #AdventofChange. Calendars can be purchased using the code HW2018 at www.adventofchange.com
