Two members of our staff recently (September 2022) volunteered to help serve free meals at a charity event for the homeless.
Luke and Tristan Besley attended the event organised by the global charity Rapid Relief Team in support of the Shekinah Mission’s work with the vulnerable.
Doing our bit
Tim Besley, our Managing Director, said: “We are extremely proud of Luke and Tristan for taking time out of their busy lives to volunteer at this charity event.
“The Rapid Relief Team charity is a very worthy cause that we support as a business in terms of donations and volunteering, and we’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to Luke and Tristan for donating their free weekend time and doing a good deed. They both served meals at the event, which was organised by the charity to support the rehabilitation work of the Shekinah Mission in Plymouth.”
