Bloomberg R&D turn elf for an evening

Thank you to  Research and Development Department from Bloomberg who turned elf for an evening this week! Volunteering after work, 30 people made over a hundred Christmas parcels and cards for our children at the ReachOut! Club

The team made brilliant elves. Should they ever wish for a snow-filled holiday, we are sure Father Christmas would give R&D a table at the workshop. We particularly commend the absolute precision and great team spirit that everyone brought to the job.

Bloomberg also support ReachOut! at the Academy, helping to fund the project and staff it with volunteer mentors. Thank you to Bloomberg for all your efforts - and keep your eyes peeled for when parcels are given in December.

Let the counting of nearly 1,000 tiny chocolates begin! One, two three ..


You can never be too precise when cutting out festive pictures for the front of a Christmas card.


Or for that matter, when measuring and cutting fabric squares.



Arts and crafts really haven't changed since anyone's school days.


Five hundred and sixty seven, five hundred and sixty eight ...



These guys are very pleased to help out.


Now that's what we call team work!



The finished result. Beautiful!



 Thank you to everyone who came along, gave their time and gave their smiles to give something to our young people. We had a great time!
