Members support agency's food bank appeal

Sutton Coldfield Chamber members have backed an appeal to provide food and donations to local food banks this Christmas.

Brand and web agency PLOTT Creative chose to support the Christmas Emergency Fund this year - with managing director Anna Plotnek launching an appeal for fellow Chamber members to join them.

Anna 's food drive was a success, with donations coming in from OnLogistics, Katie Hale, Burley Browne and RotoSpa, alongside those from PLOTT.

Others - including Ark Media, tmWare, G Comms, The Fig & Olive restaurant, ORS and AF Selection - made generous financial contributions.

Rather than giving corporate gifts to her clients, Anna made the decision some years ago to instead use the budget to support local causes.

She said: "Supporting a local charity is always really satisfying and there are so many good causes out there. This year one cause stood out, as the cost-of-living crisis squeezes family budgets.

“No one should go hungry, and the dark winter cold is only going to make it worse. The whole team really wanted to do something to help. ”
