The days are getting shorter and the nights seem darker than ever, yet agents still find time to raise money for good causes.
We raise a special cheer to the Chas Everitt agency in South Africa which kindly got in touch with information set out below, pointing out that there are many Brits retired and settled in SA who may be interested. We're happy to oblige!
We're also very happy to publicise every agent's efforts and pay tribute to your fine work, especially in the build-up to Christmas. If you want to be mentioned, please let us know. Email press@estateagenttoday.co.uk.
In the meantime, here are this week's updates.
Sunnyside Lodge, Cape Town: Chas Everitt agents in Cape Town's Southern areas are arranging 625 hampers to benefit elderly residents in need living at the Sunnyside Lodge (Plumstead) and the Communicare Musgrave Park (Diep River) old age homes, together with some strategic partners.
These Pamper Hampers' will be delivered early in December in time for Christmas and will include gifts from local residents of the community. There's a campaign website to check out here: www.Neighbour2Neighbour.co.za.
