Estate agents give cash to Doorway

New estate agents on the block in Chippenham have promised to donate £50 for each new sale to homeless charity Doorway.

"We recognize that we are privileged to be able to help clients find and sell homes in this beautiful part of the world, yet are acutely aware, especially in these challenging times, that many people have been struggling with both financial and mental pressures that can see them forced onto the streets," said Appleby & Townend director, Mark Townend.

"We will seek to generate additional income for Doorway by encouraging clients to make a donation when engaging our services for consultation work, probate valuations and suchlike.

Jo Kitching, Director of Doorway said: “ Moving house is one of the biggest events in a person’s life, and is usually an exciting and positive experience, but it reminds us that not everyone is fortunate enough to own a property, or even have a roof over their head at all. As we go into winter and with Covid still amongst us it’s really good to have the support of local businesses."
