Season’s Greetings and a Happy New Year!

19.12.2019

This Christmas we have made a donation to The Good Holiday Spirit collection. It is a fundraising campaign that gives out food vouchers to families with children which are in need. The raised funds are given as gift vouchers to families, who are in need due to unemployment, illness, debt, low income or some other kind of crisis.
