LOCAL accountants Haines Watts decided, as an office, that they wanted to help children this Christmas as well as giving food to Open Door.

When Kim Hutton, practice administrator, saw Home-Start Herefordshire on the internet, she noted the fabulous work the charity do around the county with families in need of help and support.

She was so impressed that she wanted to see if their office could help make a difference.

Kim suggested that Haines Watts forgo Secret Santa this year and donate presents for disadvantaged children instead.

The staff responded amazingly and they all feel a little warmer this winter thanks to Kim.
