This February, Strongdor celebrated Random Acts of Kindness Day by supporting an incredible local charity, Unique Kidz and Co, through a special fundraising initiative and toy donation.
In celebration of Random Acts of Kindness Day, Strongdor donated specifically selected toys from the charity's online wish list to benefit the children and young people who access the charity’s services.
On Monday 17th February, members of the Strongdor team, accompanied by our mascot Theodor, visited Unique Kidz and Co to personally deliver the toys. Our contribution aimed to enrich the play and social experiences of the children, ensuring the gifts would provide maximum benefit to those who need them most. It was a pleasure to meet some of the incredible children and young people who access the charity, and to take a tour of the Unique Kidz and Co building where all the amazing work takes place.
Strongdor are passionate about supporting their local community with a dedicated charity team who have a goal to support 4 chosen charities this year. The team love a good challenge and raised over £2500 in just one of their events last year for St Johns Hospice.
HR Director, Amy Burrow commented: “Strongdor’s charities have been selected by the employee’s themselves this year and along with our voluntary charity team are passionate about identifying creative ways in which to help the selected charities. The generosity is absolutely outstanding, and I am humbled by the kindness that each and every employee offers.”
Founded in 2009 by two mums, Denise and Jane, Unique Kidz and Co was created out of a necessity to provide suitable childcare for their own disabled children. They recognised the gap in services for children with additional needs, and their mission became to offer children and young people, including their siblings, the opportunity to socialise, play, and make lasting friendships. This initiative also supports families by allowing parents to return to work, knowing their children are in a safe and nurturing environment.
