It’s a wrap!
This year our corporate sponsors Hartsfield started a new tradition. Everyone hates wrapping right? Well, not our friends at Hartsfield. The team decided to treat clients to the Hartsfield Christmas Wrap Party, an evening of music, mulled wine and mince pies and then wrapped their gifts while they made merry.
The Hartsfield Christmas Wrap Party
The Christmas Wrap Party evening, held at Hartham Park on Friday 3rd December, was a huge success and the team raised an incredible £1,050 in just a few hours.
Georgina Syrett, a Paraplanner at Hartsfield serenaded guests with Christmas songs, while they enjoyed canapés and festive drinks. And the library and ballroom space (kindly donated by Hartham Park) was the perfect setting for this wonderful community evening. George Fleming, Business Development Manager at Hartsfield told us how they came up with the idea:
The idea was to spread some Christmas cheer and help people save time this Christmas. Wrapping is one of those time-consuming jobs that we all wish we could outsource to a wrapping elf! And giving the gift of time is always a bonus during the festive period. We’re particularly grateful to Sweatpea Catering who donated a homemade Christmas pudding and cake for the raffle and to Lynne Crawford at Mortgage Taylors for the incredibly generous donation.
George Fleming, Business Development Manager at Hartsfield
We are really grateful to all the Hartsfield members of staff who gave up their evening and risked papercuts and sticking tape mishaps to raise money for us this Christmas.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has supported The Sarah Jayne Charitable Trust this year. We’re proud that the Trust is already helping to change lives in Bristol and Wiltshire and we will continue to raise much-needed funds to support local charities

This additional fundraising takes our annual fundraising total to just over £20,000 which is incredible for our first full year as a registered charity.
