CharityJob’s early Christmas present
A few weeks ago, I received a call from a stranger who said he was from an organisation called CharityJob, writes Vincent Mahe, manager of Linden Grove. The caller said their panel had decided to make a donation to Kairos Linden Grove. Imagine my surprise… honestly, I didn’t believe it.
However, not long afterwards I found myself heading to Norbiton in Kingston. And suddenly there I was, accepting a giant cheque for £15,000 on behalf of Kairos, surrounded by a happy bunch of CharityJob workers, sharing a big smile to capture the moment.
And Kairos was not the only lucky beneficiary of CharityJob’s generosity that day: another charity was there too, one that works with individuals and their families affected by Down’s Syndrome. They had come to collect a similar donation.
After having chatted to the CharityJob team, I understood how it had come about. A gentleman called David, working in the CharityJob IT department had put Kairos forward for a donation. Kairos’s vision, hard work and dedication resonated with him and he wanted to celebrate this. He also knew someone living in one of the Move-on houses.
In these difficult economic times, this wonderful gift couldn’t have come at a better moment. So, thank you, Dave and the CharityJob team from the Kairos Linden Grove team!
