we believe in Christmas giving

Colleagues at believe housing have shown plenty of festive spirit to support two good causes.

Books, dolls, games, and other gifts were donated to a toy appeal led by Durham County Councillor for Consett Kathryn Rooney.

Councillor Rooney works with social services, schools, and refuges in County Durham to distribute the toys to families who need help.  

Employees also donned fancy dress antlers to take part in a Reindeer Run (or walk) near believe housing’s office in Seaham.

The not-for-profit landlord was the 2024 sponsor for the St Cuthbert’s Hospice Reindeer Run, which sees thousands of children take part in festive fundraisers at schools, nurseries and groups in aid of the charity.

Donations made by believe housing colleagues raised £578.80, which was shared between St Cuthbert’s Hospice and the toy appeal.
