by | Jan 29, 2016 | Dartford Charities

 

Ward & Partners recently donated £8000 towards a new hydrotherapy bath for the Dragon’s Retreat short break unit based at Parents Consortium, Hextable Kent. This is a local charity that supports disabled children and their families. Caroline Brinkman, Fundraising and Marketing Manager at Parents Consortium said” This is such a vital piece of equipment for our Dragon’s Retreat. It’s really important to give each child a bath before bedtime as this calms and relaxes them and helps aid sleep. We are really grateful to Ward and Partners for their support.”

Managing Director Aldo Sotgiu looks after the Kent Ward & Partners brand. He said “Our philosophy for success has always been to put people first, believing that estate agency is a ‘people’ business where quality of service makes all the difference. We carry that philosophy through to the community. We are delighted to support disabled children through Parents Consortium”

Group Managing Director David Lench said” It never ceases to amaze us how special these children are, and how lucky we are to have the chance of doing something worthwhile, whatever that may be, to put a smile on their faces”.
