Giving back and supporting local is at the heart of everything we do here at Pilkington Communications and this Christmas, we are thrilled to say that we will be spreading a little extra festive cheer to one of our beloved clients, Deafconnect.

Deafconnect, Northamptonshire’s leading charity supporting deaf and hard of hearing people in the county, has been a client of ours since the beginning of the year. Their endless energy, passion and drive to make a difference to the community they serve is a constant source of inspiration for us.

So, when we found out that they were planning a Christmas party, we thought we would add a little extra sparkle to say thanks for all the work they do in our county. We are delighted to have gifted fifty presents for volunteers, staff and service users, in collaboration with the wonderful team at Kettering’s Sweet Futures – a shop which supplies delicious treats, run by young people with additional needs.

The Christmas party will be a real highlight and we can’t wait to get everyone together. I want to say a huge thank you to all my staff and volunteers for their hard work this year. And to Pilkington – it has been an absolute pleasure, and the gifts are simply the icing on the cake. What a fantastic way to round off the year.
Jenni Dawkins, Deafconnect CEO

And, to add to the festive fun our very own marketing director, Susie Bacon, has been pulling in some support close to home. Susie said: “When we decided that we were going to give gifts to Deafconnect, I thought, what better way to ramp up the Christmas cheer than by employing my very own elves to help wrap and give out the presents! Every time I visit Deafconnect, I am overwhelmed by their kindness and generosity of spirit. You can tangibly feel the good they do – it is heartwarming. It will be wonderful to take the boys along to the party and spread a little joy this Christmas.”
