Bishop Fleming call on Newham businesses to get involved in the Cornwall Christmas Box scheme

Tuesday 14th December, 2021

Staff at Bishop Fleming are calling on other Newham businesses to get involved in this year’s Cornwall Christmas Box scheme.

The scheme has been running for the past 18 years and was originally started by Three Rivers Vineyard to help families in need across Cornwall by collecting and giving away Christmas dinner boxes.

Each box contains enough food for a family of four to six to celebrate, including dinner items, mince pies, biscuits and Christmas pudding.

This year, Bishop Fleming will be a business collection point for the boxes, usually filled with around £30 worth of food and treats.

Staff at the firm say it would be great to see Newham businesses getting behind the scheme by putting together festive boxes to help families across Cornwall.

Nicola Bray, Corporate and Business Services Manager at Bishop Fleming said: “With Christmas approaching it is a great time to think about our corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity and how we can give back to the community.

“I personally support the Cornwall Christmas Box annually, so it is great that this year Bishop Fleming have signed up to be a collection point and get more involved.”

Businesses can drop off their boxes at Bishop Fleming, Chy Nyverow, Newham Rd during their core hours of 9am-5pm Monday-Friday.
