Franklin Fitch team are Ace in Brixton

Franklin Fitch took part in a volunteering day at Ace of Clubs in Brixton, which is a family-like community providing support for homeless, vulnerable and otherwise marginalised people in the local area. Some of the team volunteered their time preparing lunch and getting the centre ready for opening at 12pm. They helped by washing dishes, preparing and serving meals, cleaning up, and assisting in the laundry. Following the volunteering day, Franklin Fitch has also set up a clothing drive for staff to donate items to the centre to help people at the Ace of Clubs.

Recruitment duo face the River Severn 777 challenge

Two Worcestershire-based recruiters are set to take on a gruelling charity kayak challenge – the 777 challenge – which will see them paddling the length of the River Severn over seven days and raising £7k for children’s charity New Hope. James Cronin and Mike Pincott from GMP Recruitment will kayak along the whole 220 miles of the River Severn, raising money for the charity, which provides specialist day care for children with disabilities and complex healthcare needs. As both James and Mike are kayak novices, we wish them the best of luck!
