Northern Ireland-based construction company Farrans has been doing its part to make a difference this Christmas by answering the call from charity Cash for Kids for much-needed donations.

Farrans' CSR team set up a drop off point at the company's headquarters in Dunmurry, Belfast, for donations of games, puzzles, dolls, books, clothing and vouchers for babies and children aged from 0-17 years-old.

Clara Burns, CSR Manager at Farrans, said she was "overwhelmed" with the response garnered by her colleagues.

She said: "Our pile of presents has grown steadily since we launched the campaign in November and we are delighted to be able to bring a large van full of wonderful donations to the Cash for Kids drop off point at Balloo Hire this week.

"We know that these presents will have a big impact for so many children and families on Christmas Day and that has made it all worthwhile."

Earlier this year, Farrans teamed up with Business in the Community Northern Ireland to take part in Sustainable September and opened a donation point at its Belfast headquarters for 30 days.

On that occasion, Farrans were able to deliver a van full of high-quality second hand items to the local Oxfam depot.
